What Is Backflow—and Why Is Testing So Important?

Backflow happens when water flows in the reverse direction within your plumbing system, potentially allowing contaminated water to enter your clean water supply. This can occur due to pressure changes in the municipal water line, such as during a main break or when a large amount of water is used nearby (e.g., during firefighting efforts).

Backflow can introduce harmful contaminants like fertilizers, chemicals, and bacteria into your drinking water. That’s why backflow prevention devices are installed in many plumbing systems—and why regular testing is required to ensure those devices are working properly.

With Chapel Hill backflow testing, Arbor Plumbing helps you stay compliant with local codes and ensures your water stays safe and clean.
