The Importance of Backflow Meter Testing

We are surrounded by water all day, every day. Living in Hampton Roads means we may be more aware of the presence of water in our lives, but how often do you consider the quality of water in your home or business? Regular backflow meter testing is not only required annually for commercial properties, it is a useful practice for residential properties as well.

What is Backflow?

Backflow occurs when water in your pipelines or plumbing system reverses direction, potentially contaminating drinking water of a home, business or entire community. This dangerous phenomenon can pose a serious health risk for all in the area, and is easily preventable by scheduling a backflow meter reading with Atomic Plumbing today.
