Irrespective of whether there is an issue or there isn’t any, it is always recommended to get backflow prevention done regularly in order to prevent any issues in the future.  Initially, there wasn’t any law to check this backflow. As people started to suffer because of this backflow, there came a law to avoid the issue in the future. According to the law, every commercial properties and business have to get their backflow meters checked and certified regularly every year.  The main motto in backflow inspection is to make sure that sewage water doesn’t get mixed with potable drinking water, thereby preventing the contamination of drinking water.

The main function of the backflow devices can be understood right from its name itself.  These devices prevent the sewage water from flowing backward into the pipe of freshwater supplies. Backflow of sewage water causes serious health issues. In most of the cases reported, the risks due to backflow are seen in the case of plumbing systems with cross-connection.

If the non-potable water flows backward and contaminates the drinking water, it can cause serious health issues to the people who consume this contaminated drinking water. This issue can sometimes even cost the life of a human being.
