Backflow refers to any situation in which water in your home plumbing flows in the opposite direction of what the system was designed for. Backflow is a serious problem that can affect the health of your family by causing toxic agents to enter your drinking water supply. While proper protection from backflow is a requirement in the building codes of many municipalities, not all homes have appropriate backflow prevention devices installed. If you suspect your home is at risk, contact Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Greater Syracuse today for a comprehensive analysis.

Backflow is caused by a crossed connection in your plumbing which leads to either of the following conditions:
Back pressure is when water entering your home has a lower pressure than that already in your plumbing.
Back siphonage occurs when the pressure of water entering your home is higher than that of the water in your system.
In both cases, this pressure difference creates a siphoning effect which causes clean and contaminated water supplies to mix. This means water from toilets, shower runoff, garbage disposal waste and even pesticides with a garden hose attachment can enter your drinking water.
Backflow Prevention Devices
Most building codes specify that backflow prevention devices are installed in any areas where the potential for cross-connection exists. Some of the home appliances that commonly require backflow prevention devices include the following:
Dishwashers
Garbage Disposals
Toilets
Faucets with Hose Attachments
Pools
Lawn Irrigation Systems
Many older homes may not have proper backflow prevention devices in place. Furthermore, different hazards may require different levels of protection. If you suspect your home does not have proper prevention devices in place, contact Mr. Rooter Plumbing today — often the effects of backflow may not be noticeable on a day-to-day basis, but can cause serious health problems over time.
