Backflow Testing in New Jersey
Under normal circumstances, clean water from your local supply flows smoothly into your home. But if pressure changes occur in your plumbing system, that flow can reverse — forcing contaminated water back into the public supply. This issue, known as backflow, can expose your home and community to harmful chemicals, bacteria, and other contaminants.
Our licensed New Jersey plumbers specialize in professional backflow testing and prevention. We’ll inspect your system, identify potential risks, and ensure your water stays clean, safe, and compliant with local regulations.
What Causes Backflow?
Backflow happens when a sudden change in water pressure causes contaminated water to reverse direction and flow back into your home’s clean water supply.
A common example is when a garden hose is used with an attachment — like a pesticide or fertilizer sprayer. If water pressure suddenly drops, it can create suction that pulls those chemicals straight into your home’s plumbing, and even into the public water system.
Other causes include firefighters using a nearby hydrant or city crews repairing a broken water main, both of which can trigger dangerous backflow events.
