Backflow Prevention is Key to Maintaining a Healthy Home Water Supply.
Backflow prevention is pretty much what it sounds like – preventing contaminated water from flowing back into your home from an outdoor water supply, such as a sprinkler system.
At Norhio Plumbing, backflow prevention is a specialty service grounded in our proven expertise. Company co-founder Herman Bohinc, for example, is a state-certified backflow prevention instructor and taught backflow prevention methodology for almost 40 years. In the process, he has personally certified a large percentage of certified backflow testers working at or for Norhio Plumbing competitors.
What causes backflow
Backflow occurs when the flow of water reverses. Let’s say you have a lawn irrigation system you employ to apply pesticides and weed killers to your lawn. Should the flow of the water-pesticide mixture be reversed, it will flow into your drinking and other water supplies – unless there’s something there to stop it. Namely, a backflow prevention valve installed and maintained by Norhio Plumbing.
We can also prevent backups from your sewer lines, the city water main, or your well water system.
How to protect your family
If you have a backflow valve but can’t recall the last time it was professionally inspected, call Norhio Plumbing today to schedule service. Or, if you don’t already have a valve, you should get one for your own protection. And no one can do a better job of installing it than – you guessed it – Norhio Plumbing.
