What is Backflow?

What is Backflow?

Backflow occurs when water moves in the reverse and undesirable direction. For example, if the flow of a sewer line reverses and contaminates a potable water line, this is backflow. Several types of backflow exist in plumbing systems. Siphon backflow happens when the water supply pressure drops too low. Back pressure occurs when the pressure of the unwanted water flow is too high. Sanitary sewer backflow happens when sewage reverses direction and returns to a home or building.

Most of the time, plumbing systems function properly. However, unusual situations, device failure, and sudden pressure changes may cause backflow. At Pipe Surgeons, we install and maintain backflow prevention devices for home and business owners in Port St. Lucie, FL, and the surrounding area.

The Role of Prevention Devices

Backflow prevention devices prevent the backflow of wastewater from sewage pipes. They automatically engage when a flood occurs and the sanitary sewer system contains too much water or the pressure in the sewer line gets too high. They also prevent the backflow of sewage in case of a sewer blockage.

Pipe Surgeons has been the leading provider of no-dig plumbing rehabilitation and installation in Port St. Lucie, FL, and nearby areas for the past 41 years. We handle all permits and codes. When we come for an appointment, our team arrives in fully stocked trucks with everything needed to handle the backflow prevention device installation.

The Role of Prevention Devices

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.

Benefits of Professional Installation

Professionally installed backflow prevention devices protect your home or business from a sewage flood. Raw sewage contamination could cause the health department to shutter your business until it gets professionally decontaminated. Decontamination requires extensive time and resources.

Professional installation of backflow prevention devices maintains the product's warranty and meets many insurance company sewage flood prevention requirements.
