R&S Backflow Services
Leave the plumbing to the plumbers, we’ll handle the backflows
Have you received a notice about your back flow PREVENTER?
A back flow prevention device is a piece of equipment integrated into your home or business’s irrigation and plumbing system that prevents the unwanted flow of water and contaminants back into the clean drinking water supply. If you own a commercial building, apartment complex, restaurant, irrigation system, or certain residential properties in Florida, annual back flow inspection and testing is mandatory to remain compliant with local water regulations.
You may have received a notice from your municipality or utility company to update your yearly inspection. Give us a call for affordable back flow testing!
How does a defective backflow preventer assembly affect your water?
-
If your water has a foul taste or smell, it may be that your or your neighbors’ backflow preventer is not working properly. If the backflow preventer is damaged, unwanted contaminants (like sediment, lawn runoff, or sewage) are unknowingly entering your potable water supply and can manifest in a change of taste or smell in your drinking water. Schedule an inspection to verify that your device is working properly and protect your family or business from water contamination.
-
Damage or blockage in the valves of your or your neighbors’ backflow prevention device can lead to a sudden drop in water pressure. If your home or business has experienced a sudden drop in water pressure from faucets, shower heads, or irrigation systems, it’s time for a backflow preventer inspection.
-
If your notice rattling, banging, or gurgling coming from or around your backflow prevention device, it’s time for an inspection. These noises can be symptoms of broken springs, air pockets, or water hammer strain.
-
Corroding metal or crusty mineral scale around joints, screws, and valve seats compromise the housing and prevent proper function.
-
Flaking metal or mineral scale buildup around joints, screws, and valves compromise the function of your device. Avoid potable water contamination by scheduling a back flow preventer assembly test and repair.
