Backflow prevention is an important part of keeping your water clean. Backflow happens when used water, gasses, industrial fluids, or other substances run back into the pipes that deliver potable water to your home or business. This can cause huge problems. That's why we take our jobs so seriously at Backflow Devices Testing & Repair.

Backflow preventers are mechanical devices that are installed in plumbing systems. When water flows in the opposite direction of what's intended, contaminants can enter the clean water that's intended for humans, agricultural crops, livestock, or irrigation. These devices protect cross connections in a plumbing system. These are the pipes, valves, fixtures, and other components where there's the potential for contamination.

The Safe Drinking Water Act of 1974 put federal standards in place to protect the drinking water supply. Backflow prevention is an important part of how public water systems keep supplies pure. In many cities and states, the public water utility requires customers to install backflow preventers on their main water line. This keeps water from a customer's home or business from running back out past the meter and into the public water supply. It keeps used water, chemicals, and other unwanted substances from contaminating the water we all depend on to live.

If you have backflow prevention devices installed at your home or business, it's important to make sure they're working properly. That's why routine inspections are so important. The team at Backflow Devices Testing & Repair performs certified backflow testing for our customers in Dalton, Chattanooga, and surrounding areas of Northwest Georgia and Southeast Tennessee.

Backflow testing is important for several reasons.

• First, it confirms that any and all backflow prevention devices you have installed on a water or irrigation system are working properly. If we inspect your system and find any flaws or leaks, we can repair them immediately. This reduces the risk of contaminants getting in your drinking water supply.
• Next, it helps us find areas for improvement in your system. Backflow preventers are mechanical devices. This means that improvements are constantly being made to make them more effective and efficient. We may know of new solutions that can help your system work better.
• Finally, backflow testing is required by law in many areas. States and local water utilities must put these standards in place to guarantee the safety of their drinking water for citizens. We're certified in both Georgia and Tennessee for backflow prevention device testing. We're also a member of the American Backflow Prevention Association, Tennessee Backflow Association, the Peach State "1776" Backflow Prevention Association, the Georgia Association of Water Professionals, and the Georgia Plumbing Trade Association.
