BACKFLOW INSTALLATION AND SERVICE

Backflow Installation and Service from Mallard Plumbing and Mechanical

A backflow system is something that goes unnoticed until it needs repair. Not all single family homes need backflow in Horsham, PA. The devices are typically required for commercial buildings and multi-family residences. However, single family homes that have an irrigation system may need protection from backflow.

Also called a Reduced Pressure Zone Valve, the backflow device is crucial for keeping water clean and safe. For those who require them, the lack of a backflow device or one that’s not performing as it should is a high priority sanitation issue. Without a functioning backflow device, two things can happen: back siphonage and back pressure.

Back siphonage is present when the pressure of the water supply is less than that in the plumbing system. When backpressure happens, dirty water is forced to flow in the wrong direction.

Signs you need backflow installation or service are:

Discolored water comes out of the tap
Water has an unpleasant or sulphur-like smell
Water tastes bad
Rust particles or other sediment is visible in the water

Drains are draining slowly or differently from room to room.
