Backflow Inspection & Repair

ORLANDO BACKFLOW INSPECTIONS & REPAIRS

Licensed & Qualified Central Florida Plumbers Since 1948

Backflow is a nasty problem to have. Backflow is what happens when the wastewater supply flows backward into the drinkable water supply. It usually results when there's a drop in pressure in the municipal or public water supply. When you have hundreds of gallons of sewage floating around outside your house or business, backflow goes from a minor inconvenience to a literal crisis in almost no time at all.

Ensuring Safe Water in Orlando: Backflow Prevention and Local Resources

Living in Orlando, we understand the unique challenges that come with maintaining a safe and efficient plumbing system. The local water supply, managed by the Orlando Utilities Commission (OUC), is generally reliable, but unexpected issues like main water line breaks or the use of fire hydrants can cause sudden drops in water pressure, leading to backflow problems. This is particularly concerning for businesses and homeowners in areas like Downtown Orlando and Winter Park, where water demand can be high.

Backflow prevention is crucial for safeguarding our community's drinking water. The City of Orlando's Public Works Department emphasizes the importance of regular backflow inspections to prevent contamination. For instance, cross-connections at toilets, irrigation systems, and swimming pools can lead to minor backflow incidents that still pose significant health risks. An annual backflow inspection ensures that your backflow prevention devices are functioning correctly, protecting your water supply from potential contaminants.

For restaurant owners in Orlando, the stakes are even higher. Avoiding a backflow inspection can result in severe health code violations, legal liabilities, and even the closure of your establishment. Regular inspections not only help you comply with local health regulations but also ensure the safety of your customers and staff. By staying proactive, you can avoid the costly consequences of water contamination and maintain the reputation of your business.

Whether you're a homeowner in College Park or a business owner in Thornton Park, understanding the importance of backflow prevention and utilizing local resources can help you maintain a safe and healthy environment. Trust in local professionals who know the area and are committed to keeping Orlando's water supply clean and safe.

Why Your Plumbing System Is Flowing the Wrong Direction

Your plumbing system depends on a constant flow of pressure. The pressure from the clean water of the public supply pushes your wastewater out of your home and into the public sewage system. When there's a sudden drop in the water public supply, it's like when a car loses power while going up a steep hill-everything starts moving backward (and fast).

Backflow Can Be Caused By:

  • Too much demand on the local water supply
  • The breaking of the main water line
  • Fire hydrants being used or broken

Sometimes, minor backflow can occur at connections between drinkable water and wastewater sources. Cross-connections are located at toilets, sprinklers, irrigation systems, and swimming pools, to name a few. These minor issues can still contaminate your drinking water-which is why an annual backflow inspection is a good idea for any Orlando business or homeowner. Restaurant owners in particular face considerable risk when they avoid a backflow inspection.
