DEP VIOLATIONS
Every building in New York City must test its Backflow devices annually. Backflow violations can cost $1,000 per device, and with multiple devices in a building, that’s a lot of money to throw away. Testing is cheaper than a violation, saves lives and is easier than fighting violations in court.

What is Backflow?
Backflow, the unwanted reversal of water flow, can dangerously contaminate your clean water supply. It occurs when clean and dirty water lines intersect, often triggered by pressure changes such as burst water mains. Contaminated water; containing sewage, pesticides, or potential dangerous chemicals; can infiltrate your drinking water; thus posing serious health risks.
Protect your water’s purity and safeguard your health by understanding backflow risks and taking preventive measures. Regular backflow testing and maintenance are essential to identify and address potential issues before they compromise your water quality. Prioritize backflow prevention to ensure safe, contaminant-free water for your health and peace of mind.
