Why Business Owners Need Backflow Testing.

Here’s a good reason…it’s the law that business owners have a backflow test performed every year.  A certified plumbing company needs to perform the test. The backflow testing process typically takes about 20 – 30 minutes to complete, if there are no repairs that need to be made.  Valves are opened and closed to check for any irregularities in this process.

Why is the test important and not just some money-grab?  Drinking water flows through pressurized water taps from the source to your tap.  It generally flows in one direction but on some occasions, it may flow in the opposite direction.  If it does, it may contaminate the water supply.  That should be reason enough!
