Backflow is a term in plumbing for an unwanted flow of water in the reverse direction. When it happens, waste and harmful chemicals can render your water unusable.
Pressure issues in the plumbing system are the main cause of backflow. Common examples of pressure issues include a breakage in the municipal supply line and firefighting. Both scenarios can cause backward siphoning, pushing dirty water into the clean water supply lines. Stand-alone fire suppression systems, irrigation systems, and other non potable water applications require backflow prevention devices.
The best way to prevent backflow is to install a backflow prevention device.
What Is a Backflow Prevention Device?
A backflow prevention device is an instrument you can install on water pipes to ensure that water only flows in one direction without reversing. With this device in place, your drinking water will not be contaminated even when a backflow-causing event occurs around your property.
With backflow preventers, you and your neighbors can have a clean drinking supply. They will also keep the city’s main water supply clean. For this reason, the state and local codes mandate homeowners and businesses to install backflow prevention devices on their properties.
Newer construction properties tend to feature these already, but if you’re not sure about your property, it’s best to schedule a professional inspection.

Comprehensive Backflow Inspection Services in Olympia and Surrounding Areas
Living in Olympia, Lacey, or anywhere in Thurston County, you know how crucial it is to maintain a clean and safe water supply. The local government, including the Thurston County Public Health and Social Services Department, emphasizes the importance of backflow prevention to protect our community's health. Backflow issues can be particularly concerning in our area due to the mix of residential, agricultural, and commercial properties.
One common pain point for residents and businesses in Olympia is the aging infrastructure. Older plumbing systems are more susceptible to backflow problems, which can lead to contaminated water supplies. Additionally, the frequent rainfall in the South Puget Sound region can exacerbate these issues by causing pressure changes in the water supply system.
At American Plumbing Contractors, we understand the unique challenges faced by our local community. Our team is well-versed in the specific requirements and regulations set forth by local authorities, ensuring that your backflow prevention system is compliant and effective. Whether you're near Capitol Lake or closer to the outskirts of Thurston County, we are here to help you maintain a safe and reliable water supply.
