What is Backflow?
Backflow occurs when the natural flow of water in your pipes is reversed, bringing in the potential for a contaminated (and possibly outright toxic) water supply as wastewater mixes with your current supply. Needless to say, this can be a major problem. A backflow issue can spread through numerous parts of your plumbing system, and it can even cause widespread illness for those in your home. It’s a serious situation, but one that can be prevented with the right knowledge, components, and skilled technicians.

How To Tell If You Have A Backflow Issue
If you suspect that you might have a backflow problem, it’s best to act immediately and call a plumbing professional. There are several signs to watch for that could indicate that you have an issue with backflow. Among them are:
Water that tastes and smells foul
Your water should never have an offensive smell or taste. If it does, it could be an indication of backflow.
Discolored water
The water that comes from your faucets and showerheads should always be clear. If you notice that your water comes out looking beige, yellow, or brown- or worse yet, appears to have particles of rust or other solid minerals in it- you might be experiencing some backflow issues.
Slow Drainage
Assuming you live or work somewhere that had functioning drains on your first day there, you should be familiar with the speed at which the drains operate. If you notice your drains draining substantially more slowly than they’re supposed to, it may be because you’re experiencing a clog- and that can lead to more severe issues if it isn’t dealt with quickly.
Low water pressure
Among other issues it could signal, reduced water pressure could be a way of telling you that your backflow prevention device isn’t operating correctly. When water flows backwards through your plumbing system, it stifles the flow of fresh water through your fixtures, which could not only lead to lessened water pressure but potentially disastrous health consequences as well.
If you suspect that your home or place of business is suffering from a backflow issue, it’s best to not wait around- have it dealt with immediately. Call our team of professionals at Blitch Plumbing today!
