    Backflow Prevention Services: FAQs

    • Why is backflow in a plumbing system?

      Backflow is the unwanted reversal of the flow of water or other substances into the potable (drinking) water supply. It can allow contaminants like chemicals, bacteria, or waste to enter clean water lines.

    • What problems does backflow create?

      Backflow issues can contaminate clean water in your plumbing system (drinking water). It’s a serious issue that can lead to illness, lawsuits, and suspended operations.

    • What is a backflow preventer?

      A backflow preventer is a mechanical device or assembly installed in a plumbing system to stop backflow. It ensures contaminated water doesn't enter the clean water supply.

    • What are common types of blackflow prevention?

      Backflow prevention systems we commonly use include pressure vacuum breakers (PVB), reduced pressure zones (RPZ), double check assemblies (DCA), and atmospheric vacuum breakers (AVB).

    • Do backflow preventers need to be tested?

      Yes. Most municipalities require annual testing of certain types (like RPZs and DCVAs) by a certified backflow tester to ensure functionality.

    • Who needs backflow prevention?

      Backflow prevention is often required for Commercial buildings, irrigation systems, fire suppression systems, and homes with private wells or auxiliary water supplies

    • Is backflow prevention required by law?

      Yes. Local plumbing codes and water authorities typically mandate backflow prevention where contamination risk exists. Check with your local utility or building department for specific requirements.

    • How much does it cost to install or test a backflow preventer?

      Expect to pay about $75–$150 annually for testing, with installation between $150–$800 depending on the type, size, and complexity of the system. Reach out for an estimate.

    I noticed a leaky outdoor faucet on my forty-year-old home. Besides being a terrible waste of water, I was worried about the integrity of the pipes come winter. Harbour Energy arrived next day and quickly diagnosed and explained the problem. Harb had all the necessary parts on hand and completed the job in about 20 minutes. No more leaky faucet!
