BACKFLOW PROTECTION
Fire backflow systems are crucial for maintaining the integrity of a building’s fire protection system and ensuring the safety of water supplies. These systems prevent contaminated water from flowing back into the potable water supply, protecting public health and complying with safety regulations. In the event of negaive pressure on the main water supply line, back siphonage can occur, and without proper backflow prevention, hazardous substances, chemicals, or debris could enter the water supply system, posing serious health risks to occupants and the community. with local codes.

Identifying the type of hazard being protected against will determine the type of backflow device required. The installation orientation of these devices is crucial, as vertical or horizontal installations can affect their operation. Let our system designers select the best backflow device for your needs, whether it’s to protect against a high hazard, meet hydraulic requirements, or address space limitations. We are here to ensure your needs are met.
BACKFLOW PROTECTION REPAIR
We provide professional backflow repair to help you maintain the integrity and functionality of fire protection equipment. This specialized service involves diagnosing and fixing issues related to backflow prevention devices, such as double-check valves and reduced pressure zone assemblies, which are essential for preventing contaminated water from entering the potable water supply during fire emergencies. Skilled technicians thoroughly inspect the system to identify any malfunctions, leaks, or wear, and then carry out necessary repairs or replacements. Timely backflow repairs are vital to guarantee that the fire protection system operates effectively when needed.
BACKFLOW PROTECTION INSPECTIONS
Regular inspections are crucial to identify any potential issues with backflow prevention devices, such as wear, leaks, or malfunctions that could compromise their effectiveness. Without proper functioning backflow systems, contaminated water could flow back into the potable water supply during a fire emergency, posing serious health risks to occupants and the surrounding community. Inspections also help ensure compliance with local regulations and codes, which mandate regular testing of backflow prevention devices to safeguard public health.
