Backflow Prevention Services in Santa Fe

If you’ve had plumbing problems, you may have heard the term “backflow” before, which is a reversal of contaminated water back up into the pipes of your home. As you may imagine, it’s a serious concern. Backflow sends water full of waste up the pipes and into your home, contaminating potable water supplies and creating a significant mess for you to clean up. In Santa Fe, NM, laws dictate that backflow prevention devices be in place to prevent this occurrence, but when they fail, you may be looking at a serious problem.

Count on Roadrunner Air Conditioning, Heating & Plumbing for backflow prevention in Santa Fe, NM.

Backflow is simply the reversal of contaminated water – full of anything from food particles to fecal matter – back up your supply pipes. It’s usually caused by an unexpected change in pressure in your pipes: higher pressure forcing the water backwards or lower pressure pulling it back through the pipes like a vacuum. Either way, it spells trouble. Potable water becomes contaminated and unusable, cutting your household off from its supply of clean water in some cases. While Roadrunner Air Conditioning, Heating & Plumbing can solve such problems when they arise, it’s better to have backflow prevention in place and functioning before such an incident occurs.
