Backflow can pose serious risks to your home’s water supply, especially when there are sudden changes in water pressure. This reversal of water flow can allow contaminants like fertilizers, pesticides, or sewage to enter your clean water lines. Fortunately, backflow prevention devices are designed to keep this from happening.

These devices work by allowing water to flow in one direction only into your home, not back out into the main water supply. They are especially important in homes with irrigation systems, swimming pools, or boilers, where contamination risks are higher. Regular testing and maintenance of your backflow preventer are key to ensuring it’s working properly and complies with local safety codes.

At Putman & Son’s Plumbing, our certified technicians install, inspect, and maintain backflow prevention systems with expert care. Don’t leave your home’s water quality to chance—schedule your backflow inspection today by calling (248) 652-0990 or visiting www.pnsplumbing.com.
