Backflow Testing in Cleveland’s Metro Area

Providing backflow testing in Mentor, Willoughby, Painesville, Chardon, and the surrounding areas of Lake and Geauga Counties.

Clean drinking water is essential to your health and well-being, but if your potable water supply should become contaminated, it places everyone in your home at risk of severe illness or even death. Backflow prevention devices are designed to keep your drinking water safe and clean, using a series of valves that stop dirty water from entering the potable water system. Because they contain a number of moving parts that may wear or break over time, periodic backflow testing should be performed to detect minor issues before they become serious problems.

The team of skilled professionals at Kobella Plumbing Heating Cooling has the equipment, knowledge, and experience to conduct backflow testing in your home on all types of backflow prevention devices. Contact us to learn more about our backflow testing services or call us at (440) 729-2099 to schedule an appointment today.

What Is Backflow?

The potable water distribution system that services your home delivers a clean, steady supply of water and is intended to flow in only one direction. When the water pressure behind the flow is abnormally high (back pressure) or low (back siphonage) the water may reverse direction, pulling contaminated water back into the system. Backflow can only occur in situations where there is a cross-connection between potable and non-potable water, highlighting the need for backflow prevention devices.

How Does a Backflow Prevention Device Work?

There are a number of different types of backflow preventers on the market today, ranging in size and complexity to suit a variety of commercial and residential applications. Regardless of which type is used the principle remains the same, as the device allows clean water to flow in one direction while preventing dirty water from reversing its flow and entering the clean water supply. This is achieved through the strategic placement of multiple check valves.

The Importance of Backflow Testing

Backflow can have dangerous consequences and can occur at any point in your water system where cross connections occur including:

  • Kitchen – Dishwasher, garbage disposal, refrigerator water lines
  • Bathrooms – Whirlpool bathtubs, toilets, handheld shower heads
  • Outdoors – Fountains, ponds, sprinkler systems, swimming pools
  • Hoses – Threaded faucet attachments, hose bibbs, sillcocks

Contaminated water from any of these sources may contain any of the following which can negatively impact your health:

  • Toilet vapor or odors
  • Insecticides or fertilizer
  • Treated or untreated pool water
  • Sewage
  • Runoff from downspouts and gutters
  • And more

Our technicians are specially trained and certified in the installation, testing, repair, and certification of all types of backflow prevention devices. We will efficiently manage each step of the testing process, complete the required documentation and certification, and make recommendations for repair or replacement as needed.
