What is Backflow Prevention and Testing?

Backflow prevention is a critical process that protects potable water supplies from contamination or pollution due to reverse flow. This can occur when there is a sudden drop in water pressure, which can happen for a variety of reasons, including main breaks or high water usage. Regular testing and maintenance of backflow prevention devices are essential to ensure that they are functioning correctly and protecting your water supply.

Our backflow prevention and testing services in Clifton are designed to help both residential and commercial clients maintain compliance with state and local health regulations.
