Backflow Service & Installation

Protecting your home’s drinking water begins with a properly functioning backflow prevention system. At Platinum Rooter and Plumbing, we provide installation, testing, replacement, and repair of residential backflow devices to ensure your water supply stays clean, safe, and compliant with local standards.

What Is Backflow and Why Does It Matter?

Backflow occurs when water flows in the opposite direction through your plumbing system—allowing contaminated water to enter clean drinking lines.

This happens when:

• Water pressure drops

• Supply lines freeze or rupture

• Fire hydrants are used nearby

• Irrigation or sprinkler systems back-feed water

• Sudden demand spikes occur

Without prevention, bacteria, chemicals, lawn fertilizers, and other contaminants can enter your household water.

What Is a Backflow Prevention Device?

A backflow prevention assembly is a mechanical device designed to stop contaminated water from entering clean water lines. These systems are commonly installed at water main connections or irrigation lines.
