Backflow prevention is a critical aspect of maintaining safe and clean water supplies. Basically, it refers to the preventative measures taken to ensure polluted water doesn’t reverse flow into your drinking water. Backflow can occur when there is a sudden drop in water pressure. It can also occur when a cross-connection between the potable water supply and the source of contamination is present.
Dream Plumbing & Gas can repair and install backflow prevention devices. We can also implement professional practices to prevent contaminated or non-potable water from entering your clean water system.
Effective backflow prevention safeguards your family’s health by preventing your drinking water from being contaminated by harmful substances, chemicals, or bacteria. It is also essential for commercial and industrial properties, as well as in municipal water systems.
Backflow prevention works by having devices, such as backflow preventer valves, air gaps and check valves installed at strategic points within the plumbing system to ensure the one-way flow of water.

Backflow is the unwanted reversal of water flow within a plumbing system, which can lead to the contamination of potable water. It is a concern because it poses health risks by allowing pollutants, chemicals, or non-potable water to enter the clean water supply.
Common causes of backflow include sudden drops in water pressure (back siphonage) due to firefighting activities or water main breaks, as well as cross-connections between the potable water supply and potential sources of contamination caused by faulty plumbing or improper installations.
