Prevention & Backflow Testing Sarasota
We don’t often hear about the dangers of backflow in a plumbing system. And this is largely due to the fact that today’s plumbing systems are outfitted with backflow prevention devices that help to keep you safe. But a sudden change in pressure in your pipes could potentially allow a nearby source of contamination to move into the pipes, ruining your potable water supply or the municipal water supply with pesticides or other harmful substances.
A backflow prevention device is a mechanical unit with check valves that help to protect the water supply from the threat of backflow and backsiphonage. But only select plumbers are qualified to work on these devices. At Wimpy’s, our Sarasota plumbers have the proper certification for backflow testing, installation, and repair.

The Risk of Backflow Contamination
Sarasota backflow prevention devices are installed at any cross–connection (where a resident’s or business’s water supply meets the public supply) at which there is a risk of backflow. Backflow can occur in one of two ways, backpressure or backsiphonage, and either can allow harmful substances to enter into the public supply or into a building’s water supply.
One example of backflow occurs when there is a sudden drop in pressure from the water main, such as when firefighters gain access to a connected fire hydrant. If a cross connection occurs near a commercial property that uses chemicals, fertilizers, or pesticides, these could get drawn into the pipes and move into the public supply. The most common source of backflow occurs with garden hoses, and becomes dangerous if the hose is submerged in a swimming pool or in chemicals.
Backflow prevention devices are regulated by local authorities, as are their installation and maintenance. Many businesses are required to get backflow devices tested regularly, and they must call plumbers with backflow certification to ensure the job is completed properly.
