What Is Backflow?
One of the most hazardous plumbing issues is the occurrence of backflow, a major problem that results when there is a large imbalance between the pressure in the municipal water line and the pressure within your own plumbing system. The consequences of backflow include dirty, contaminated waste flowing back into the pure water supply of your system as well as the rest of your community, spreading dangerous diseases.
The two primary ways that backflow occurs includes:
- Backpressure – When your own water pressure reaches levels higher than the city’s water line pressure, the water is pushed in the wrong direction, and dirty waste infiltrates the supply of pure water.
- Back siphonage – This situation occurs when the water pressure is far too low, creating a vacuum that sucks in contaminated water. While it is an opposite occurrence to that of backpressure, both result in the same disastrous effect.
