Backflow is a term used to describe the unwanted flow of water in your home’s plumbing system in the opposite direction.

It’s a major plumbing consideration and design element to your plumbing system. If not done right you’ll require immediate attention because backflow can contaminate your clean/drink water with wastewater.

Not only that, but it can also lead to corroded pipes and other plumbing problems later in time. We understand what backflow is and how to fix as its crucial to ensure you have clean water when you open the tap. It’s s specialist area (especially for Agricultaural and food manufacturing applications) and we know the common causes of backflow and how you can prevent it from happening.
