What is backflow? Backflow is a reversal of the normal flow of a liquid or gas. A backflow preventer or backflow preventer assembly is shown below and these devices prevent non potable water from entering the potable water supply and makes water safe to use. Without the use of backflows, contaminants could enter the water supply causing us to get sick and harming the environment around us.

Water purveyors require that annual inspections of these backflow devices occur. Ignoring a backflow inspection can cause water service to be discontinued to your building and they will fine you on a daily basis. Backflows that pertain to a fire sprinkler system are only to be inspected and repaired by a licensed fire sprinkler company such as ourselves. Need an inspection or a repair to your backflow assembly? Contact us today 305-418-4880 or email us at info@cardelfire.com
