Dependable Backflow Prevention Services

Backflow Prevention

Backflow prevention systems are specially designed pieces of equipment that make sure waste, chemicals and gases do not come out of the main sewer lines and back into your fresh water supply. Backflow preventers help guarantee that your entire building will have clean, fresh drinking water free of hazardous contaminants. The backflow prevention certified installers and inspectors at Intercity Plumbing & Heating can properly install and service your backflow prevention systems to ensure they operate at peak performance.

The Benefits of Backflow Prevention Services

In the world of plumbing and sanitation, backflow prevention devices are one of the most little-known pieces of equipment out there. In spite of this, backflow prevention plays a vital role in making sure that our drinking water remains clean and free of dangerous impurities, especially in large facilities like apartment buildings, restaurants and hotels. In fact, backflow tests are usually required by New York City municipal governments, and many businesses need to make sure that their backflow testing records are updated annually at the city service offices.
