Protecting your home or business from water contamination is essential for maintaining a safe and healthy environment.

Backflow issues can lead to contaminated water, posing serious health risks and causing damage to your plumbing system. Our experienced team provides fast, reliable service to identify and resolve backflow problems, protecting your water supply and giving you peace of mind.

What Is Backflow and Why Is It Dangerous?

Backflow occurs when the flow of water reverses direction in your plumbing system, allowing contaminated water from external sources to enter your clean water supply. This can happen when there is a sudden change in water pressure due to issues like a burst pipe, back-siphonage, or a malfunctioning valve.

When backflow happens, pollutants such as fertilizers, chemicals, and waste can enter your drinking water, creating serious health hazards. That’s why it’s essential to have a properly functioning backflow prevention device installed and maintained.

Common Causes of Backflow

Understanding what causes backflow can help you prevent it from happening. Some of the most common causes include:

Back-Siphonage – A sudden drop in water pressure can create a vacuum that pulls contaminated water into the clean water supply.
Back-Pressure – When pressure in the plumbing system exceeds the pressure in the main water supply, contaminated water can be pushed back into the clean water line.
Cross-Connections – Improper connections between clean and contaminated water lines can allow pollutants to enter your drinking water.
Pipe Damage – Cracks, leaks, or bursts in your water line can cause pressure fluctuations that lead to backflow.

Professional Backflow Repair Services

If your backflow prevention device isn’t working correctly, Carroll Plumbing offers expert repair services to restore proper function and protect your water supply.

Signs you may need backflow repair:

Discolored or foul-smelling water
Reduced water pressure
Visible leaks or drips near the backflow preventer
Odd tastes in your drinking water
Frequent water contamination issues

Our certified plumbers use advanced diagnostic tools to identify the cause of the problem and perform precise repairs. We inspect every component of your backflow prevention system, including the check valves, pressure relief valves, and air gaps, to ensure proper function.

Backflow Testing and Inspection

Annual backflow testing is required by most local municipalities to ensure that your system meets safety standards. Carroll Plumbing provides comprehensive backflow testing and inspection services to identify potential problems before they escalate.

Our testing process includes:

Checking water pressure levels
Inspecting backflow preventer valves and seals
Ensuring proper separation of clean and contaminated water lines
Identifying signs of wear or damage

If any issues are found, we recommend immediate repairs to prevent future backflow events and maintain compliance with local regulations.

Expert Backflow Replacement Services

If your backflow preventer is beyond repair or outdated, a full replacement may be necessary to protect your water supply. Carroll Plumbing offers professional backflow replacement services using high-quality, durable materials designed to last.

When to consider backflow replacement:

The backflow preventer is more than 10 years old.
Frequent repairs are no longer effective.
Your system fails backflow testing or inspection.
Water pressure issues persist despite repairs.
The backflow preventer is made from outdated materials.

Our team will assess your current system, recommend the best replacement solution, and install the new preventer with minimal disruption to your property. We ensure that the replacement meets local plumbing codes and functions correctly to prevent future backflow issues.

Great local plumbing company. Years ago, I had a disappointing experience with one of the bigger plumbing companies so I haven't called a plumber since. Carroll Plumbing here fortunately surprised me and did great work. I'll call them every time from here on out.

Life savers! I help a mentally handicapped adult. He had a leak in his house and I was able to get to him around 4:30PM. Turned out the leak was behind the wall. We located the leak and pulled up to a hardware store to hopefully get some guidance on repair. When we saw one of your trucks in the parking lot we felt like it was a "sign"! I caught the guy in the store and he couldn't have been more helpful! I was hopeful that we could recruit him to help but frankly surprised that he was willing! We are very thankful to him and to your company. Are evening was much better than it would have been otherwise.

Justin came out today and fixed our leaking water line connection. He was very professional and courteous. We have called on Carrol Plumbing twice this year. They show up quick and solve the issue quick. They are good people and hire good quality people. I can’t say I’m looking forward to my next problem, but if I have one, I’ll call Carrol Plumbing. Thanks for helping us out again.
