Either type of backflow prevention device can experience problems such as leaking or stuck valves. If your backflow preventer is experiencing these issues, it might not be functioning correctly. That puts your entire water system at risk of contamination — so it’s crucial to have regular inspections from a plumbing service licensed to work on backflow preventers.

Backflow is bad news. Any form of non-potable water streaming back into the usable water supply is a serious potential health crisis situation. Pressure changes such as pipes freezing, water main bursts or multiple fire hydrants being opened at once all pose a risk of creating a flow reversal in plumbing systems.
