Why You Need a Backflow Prevention Device
Backflow occurs when the pressure of a plumbing system changes suddenly and causes water to flow backward into the main water supply line. Reduced pressure zone (RPZ) backflow preventers keep this contaminated and non-potable water out of the water lines by way of double check-valves and a hydraulically-operated differential relief valve that work together to make it nearly failsafe. RPZ backflow preventers are important for three main reasons:
Safety
When water flows into the main line, it can contaminate the water supply with chemicals, human waste, and a multitude of other harmful substances, posing a serious health risk to anyone who consumes it. RPZ backflow preventers keep drinking water safe by preventing the flow of contaminated water in the first place.
Code-Compliance
Most cities require all businesses that pose a potential threat to have some form of backflow preventer installed in their plumbing system. Installing and maintaining your backflow preventer will keep your business up to code and save you from accruing hefty fines.
Minimize Repairs
Backflows can cause extensive damage to your plumbing system because of foreign materials. A well-maintained backflow preventer will save you that trouble and help you avoid costly repairs.
What We Do
At Superior Plumbing & Rooter, we care about keeping your business safe and up to code. We’re business owners too and we know the idea of unplanned downtime can be stressful. We offer quick, quality backflow preventer services, including:
Installation
Depending on the nature of your business, your building may need a specific type of backflow preventer or multiple backflow prevention devices. We’re fully licensed and have the expertise to determine which backflow preventer is right for your building and install it according to factory specifications and local code requirements.
Testing
Many backflow prevention devices must be tested annually to make sure they’re up to code. Backflow prevention devices have internal seals, springs, and moving parts that are subject to failure and wear and must be maintained to function properly. We have the tools to test and identify failures in any backflow preventer.

If your backflow preventer fails an inspection, we can determine if the problem is repairable or if the whole system needs to be replaced. We’ll work with you to find the best solution to the problem and get your business back up and running in no time.
