The Importance of Backflow Prevention: Protecting Your Water Supply By Rossman Plumbing | 24/7 Emergency Line: 951-278-2690

When it comes to keeping your home or business safe, most people don’t think about what’s flowing back into their water lines. But backflow — when contaminated water reverses direction and enters your clean water supply — can be a serious health hazard.

That’s where backflow prevention comes in.

What Is Backflow?

Backflow happens when water pressure changes suddenly (like during a main break or heavy usage), causing dirty water from sprinklers, irrigation systems, or commercial equipment to flow backward into your clean water line.

Why You Need a Backflow Preventer

A backflow preventer is a safety device that stops contaminated water from mixing with your drinking water. Many cities and water districts require annual backflow testing to make sure these devices are working properly.

At Rossman Plumbing, we specialize in:
✅ Backflow installation and replacement
✅ Annual testing and certification
✅ Repairs and maintenance for commercial and residential systems

Who Needs Backflow Prevention?

• HOAs and property managers
• Senior living facilities
• Hotels and restaurants
• Commercial buildings and warehouses
• Homeowners with irrigation or fire sprinkler systems

Stay Compliant and Protected

Regular backflow testing ensures your system is up to code and your water remains safe. We make the process easy — from scheduling to submitting the required reports to your local water authority.
