Backflow Prevention Installation, Testing and Repair

Backflow prevention is an essential part of plumbing systems in Shreveport, LA. Backflow occurs when the water in a plumbing system flows in the opposite direction, potentially bringing contaminated water into the clean water supply. This can happen when there is a drop in water pressure in the system or when there is a back-siphonage of contaminated water into the system. To prevent backflow and protect the health of residents, it is crucial to have backflow prevention devices installed in plumbing systems.

These devices work by ensuring that water flows only in one direction. They are designed to prevent contaminated water from flowing back into the clean water supply by using a one-way valve. In Shreveport, LA, it is mandatory to have backflow prevention devices installed in all commercial and industrial plumbing systems. Residential plumbing systems are also encouraged to have backflow prevention devices installed, but it is not mandatory.
