Backflow is exactly what it sounds like. It’s when water flows in the opposite direction it’s intended to.
Water should flow into your home or business. However, when backflow occurs, water leaves your home or business and flows towards a city or other communal water source. This can have detrimental effects on the water supply as potentially contaminated water can infect it.

There are two main reasons backflow happens: loss of pressure in supply lines or increase in pressure on the customer’s end.
Backflow really only occurs during unusual circumstances like a broken water main or the fire department needing a large amount of water quickly.
