Backflow Testing in Kansas City
Request Your Appointment
Backflow is unintended water flow reversal resulting in potential contamination and can happen for a variety of reasons and at different points in the water lines in your plumbing system, such as a cross-connection. This contamination to your potable water, or freshwater, can come from any device connected to your water system. This may be equipment, fire protection systems, mechanical devices, sprinkler systems, and even lawn irrigation systems on your property. Backflow prevention devices are designed to keep potable water, or drinking water, safe from these contaminants.
There are tester kits at home improvement stores for use at home, but having a licensed plumber perform the backflow test will give you peace of mind that you have the right data from the backflow test such as water pressure. Kansas City backflow issues will rear its head at some point in your home’s or business’s service life, and A-1 Sewer is here to help with backflow testing, installation of a backflow prevention assembly, and any plumbing issue you may have across the Kansas City metro.
