Backflow Inspections

Our water should be pure and uncontaminated. We strive to keep our water potable as the prevention of contaminants is important for optimal health and the overall maintenance of our property.

With more than 10,000 reports of backflow happening annually, backflow inspections are crucial to its prevention. Consumers and property owners are often caught off-guard without a clue as to what backflow is, how it happens, or how to prevent it. The prevention process begins with a conversation with us, MP Hickey Backflow Testing and Cross Connection Specialist. We know all too well what can happen, but fortunately, we are knowledgeable in how to prevent harmful damage to your health and to your plumbing system now and down the road.

Various approaches to water delivery that operate correctly allow water in one direction only. The water travels from the source to the consumer or property owner. When situations go awry from the source, the water flow could be interrupted, thus, the reason for the water that travels in the other direction. This change is referred to as backflow, producing potentially, hazardous circumstances.

You are not alone if or when backflow happens!

Know that you are not alone if this happens. Even your swimming pool or sprinkler system can be contributing factors to a back pressure/backflow situation. With the professionals at MP Hickey Backflow, you are assured that your backflow days are over, providing effective prevention methods that will protect your family’s health, save your pipes, drinking water, time, and money.

Local agencies are required to support and provide clean water according to the EPA. That said — once installed — backflow prevention devices which are a requirement of the law and installed according to building or plumbing codes, are tested annually to avert the “wrong-way” travel of unsanitary water from entering into your clean water system. For more information and how we can help, contact MP Hickey Backflow, your Backflow Specialists in the Bay Area.

Our licensed inspectors will examine your water lines for a potentially-significant problem and speak with you about how we can help. We will provide you with an annual inspection to safeguard your plumbing system with annual care and maintenance which could be critical to your safety.

We, at MP Hickey Backflow, will thoroughly and professionally perform a “check-up” on the connections (assemblies) that attach your property to the public water supply. Our job is to also educate you on the dangers of backflow, ascertain if there is an issue and move forward toward prevention. Our bottom line is to inspect your water line to assure that you will not be subject to backflow problems.

Due to the potential risk of a serious dilemma, we believe that these inspections should be on your calendar every year. We ask that you do not wait until you have a problem. Instead, we suggest that you call us for an inspection to minimize the chances of a major backup event.

Neighbors need to know. Sharing your knowledge about what a backflow inspection can do to help protect consumers and homes is performing a great service. By contacting your neighbors, the service that you provide could save a life by encouraging safe drinking water and keeping your neighborhood safe.

MP Hickey Backflow Testing and Cross Connection Specialist would consider it a privilege to work with your neighbors in the prevention of backflow. Share this valuable information so that your neighbors, friends, and colleagues can rest assured that the possibility of a back pressure/backflow problem will not materialize on their property.
