It’s important to be aware of the risks of backflow, which occurs when water in a plumbing system starts reversing. Backflow can create major health risks, such as water contamination. While backflow does not occur frequently, sometimes, backflow prevention systems can fail and allow water to reverse. The best way to prevent this situation is to schedule regular backflow testing to ensure your water is flowing in the proper direction. If you would like to schedule backflow testing, pipe relining, or other routine services, contact Sterling Heights Emergency Plumbing right away.
