Your drinking water comes from the city’s water main into your property via pressure, and it should only flow in one direction. However, sometimes, pressure changes cause water to flow backward into the city water line, potentially contaminating the public water supply.

A backflow prevention device prevents dirty water from traveling into your public drinking water system. This device needs an annual inspection and testing to stay up to Texas code.

Turn to the trusted plumbers at The Bosworth Company Kerrville for professional backflow testing and repair in Kerrville, TX, and surrounding areas.

As a licensed and insured BBB-accredited company, we understand that matters involving the safety of your water supply need precise attention to detail. That’s why we provide a satisfaction guarantee and strive to ensure that our work exceeds industry standards.

What Causes Backflow?

Water under pressure will always flow in one direction, from a region with higher pressure (the city water supply) to a low-pressure region (your home or business’s water supply.) However, pressure changes within the pipes cause water to flow backward and seep into the public water supply.

Your pipes may experience a pressure change if:

Your plumbing system has a leak
Firefighters use a fire hydrant near your home
A city water supply line has a leak

Because of the potential pressure changes in your pipes and risk of contamination, Texas law requires property owners in Kerrville, TX, to install a backflow prevention device anytime there’s a cross-connection between clean (potable) and dirty (non-potable) water. The potentially contaminated water may contain harmful chemicals, fertilizers, and even human waste.

Contact us for backflow testing and repair every year or when you notice drain issues and suspect a problem with your backflow device.

You must schedule testing after a new backflow protection assembly installation, repair, or relocation. Like all mechanical devices, backflow prevention assemblies degrade over time and need annual testing to ensure they work efficiently.

During a backflow test, a certified backflow tester from our team checks backflow prevention devices in your plumbing system to ensure they do their job and that contaminated water doesn’t end up in the public water supply.
