Backflow Testing Services

Home » Northern Virginia Plumbing Services » Backflow Testing Services

screwing in pieces after a Backflow Testing ServicesBackflow is a severe issue that can happen in nearly any home. This term refers to the act of water running in reverse and causing clean water to become contaminated. Backflow can lead to property damage and health risks if it isn’t addressed immediately. Fortunately, Baumbach Plumbing & Remodeling provides backflow testing services.

Potential Causes Of Backflow

On nearly every property, water lines must cross-connect at a certain point. When backflow occurs, wastewater, solids, and gases often get mixed with clean water. In houses, variations in water pressure can lead to backflow from bathroom or kitchen sinks, washing machines, or swimming pools. Water sources all throughout the home can thus become contaminated.

toilet needing Backflow Testing ServicesIf your toilet makes a gurgling sound, this is generally an indication of negative air pressure (i.e. “suction”) buildup. In these instances, water in your bowl may likely bubble and your toilet may flush on its own.

Frequent causes of backflow include:

  • Broken or burst pipes
  • Leaking or burst water mains
  • Frozen pipes
  • Higher-than-average demand for water

How To Prevent Backflow

A professional plumber can offer you recommendations for how to prevent backflow on your property, whether it’s residential or commercial. Common backflow prevention methods include:

Air Gap

An air hole is formed at one end of the water supply line to keep pressure. This solution takes time to solve backflow issues.

DCV

This refers to “double-check valves,” which have spring-loads and a shutoff function. This solution is ideal for preventing underground backflow.

AVB

An atmospheric vacuum breaker is set up at the end of your pipes to keep water pressure.

PVB

A pressure vacuum breaker regulates water pressure by utilizing a spring-loaded valve that has a shutoff function. It’s important to note that certain PVBs can experience leaks.

RPZA

These are Reduced Pressure Zone Assemblies, which are highly reliable and efficient. A pressure differential relief valve, a shutoff valve, and test cocks are used to separate a shutoff valve and a pair of spring-loaded check valves with this solution.

flathead to do Backflow Testing ServicesDepending on the type of property you own, some of these solutions may be more effective than others. Also, you should ideally ensure your backflow prevention system is tested by a professional at least once a year. There are many different types of devices for preventing backflow, each of which provides a unique level of protection from this problem. Most professional plumbers are licensed and insured, which means they are extensively trained in resolving backflow and other maintenance issues.

Sunday is FUNday unless your water heater has a leak! BAUMBACH PLUMBING (Andy) was incredibly responsive and was able to have water heater back up and working within 2 hours of the call. We are very grateful for the Sunday repair and professionalism!

Our water heater was having issues. Andy communicated his concerns, was highly attentive and made sure my wife and I were safe from electrical fires.He recommended a 3rd party electrician, found a water heater during the middle of a water heater shortage, and installed it next day within an hour. He was very skilled and did beautiful work. I feel like he cared. My wife and I are now able to take showers at the same time (different bathrooms).I recommend Baumbach Plumbing to anybody who wants a reliable plumber who provides high-quality services.
