Backflow Prevention

At Pipe Surgeons, we are committed to making sure our customer's water is safe to drink and use, and we take many strides to ensure that their pipeline systems are functioning properly at all times.

Backflows are caused when drinking water becomes contaminated after cross-connecting with non-potable water, from sources such as sprinklers or HVAC systems, and can be triggered by water pressure drops, called back siphonage, or an increase in pressure, called back pressure. Backflow is a huge health hazard, which is why regular testing and certification is so important.

Backflow Prevention Certification Features

Your backflow prevention cost can vary, depending on:

Accessibility of sewer cleanout:

A sewer cleanout is the access point for plumbers to get into your home’s sewer line. If your sewer cleanout is on ground-level, it will be less expensive than if your sewer cleanout is located on the roof.

Equipment needed:

Our plumbers will attempt to unclog your drain using a drain cable machine first. If the clog cannot be cleared using the drain cable machine, we may recommend hydro jetting, which will likely raise the total cost of the project.

Plumbing:

You’ll pay more for better-quality plumbers. With any plumbing work, you want a plumber who’s licensed and experienced, offers strong warranties and has a good reputation.
