Welcome to Olympia Plumbing
Proudly Serving Olympia, WA
Backflow prevention is a crucial aspect of maintaining a safe and reliable water supply. It involves the use of devices and systems designed to prevent the reverse flow of water, which can carry contaminants and pollutants back into the clean water supply. Backflow can occur due to changes in pressure within the plumbing system, often caused by events like water main breaks or heavy water usage in nearby areas. When backflow happens, it can pose significant health risks by allowing harmful substances to enter the potable water system. Ensuring proper backflow prevention is essential for protecting public health and maintaining the integrity of water systems in residential, commercial, and industrial settings.
