Backflow Inspection & Repair in Tampa & Sarasota, FL

What Is Backflow?

Backflow is the highly undesirable reversal of water flow, usually in drains and sewer lines, that results in wastewater channeling back into your South Florida home or business. The result of backflow is contaminated water mixing with a clean water supply and potentially hazardous conditions or property damage.

The most common causes of backflow include:

  • Backpressure: When the downstream pressure exceeds that of the potable water supply, as with some boilers or irrigation systems.
  • Back-siphoning: When a sudden drop in pressure within the water supply causes water to be vacuumed back into the system, as with a water main break.
  • Failing preventers: When backflow prevention devices or valves fail, allowing contaminated water to flow back into the clean water supply.

Importance of Backflow Prevention

Is your Sarasota or Tampa home at risk due to a lack of backflow prevention? The Florida Building Code requires all residential irrigation systems to have a backflow preventer. There are public health protections to consider with backflow prevention, too.

Avoid costly property damage, compliance fines, and wastewater backflow contamination with the right preventative measures. Acree Plumbing, Air & Electric can help with:

  • Routine backflow system evaluation
  • Repair of backflow system components
  • Replacement of backflow valves

Our Backflow Inspection Services

Enjoy peace of mind with our comprehensive backflow inspection services with highly qualified, certified technicians. We’ll inspect plumbing, drains, and sewer lines and perform an evaluation that includes:

  • Visual inspection: We’ll check the backflow prevention device to spot visible signs of wear, corrosion, or damage.
  • Valve operation testing: Our technicians test the internal valves and components of the backflow preventer to verify they’re opening and closing, allowing water to flow in the proper direction while preventing reverse flow.
  • Pressure differential testing: We’ll measure the pressure levels in your system to make sure the backflow prevention device is maintaining the appropriate pressures needed to prevent backflow.
  • Check valve performance: We’ll test the check valve performance to confirm that they’re preventing reverse flow.
  • Sealing and integrity checks: Our team checks all seals, gaskets, and other components for integrity to prevent leaks or potential points of failure.
