Plumbing backflow is a serious issue that can ruin your day, not to mention your property. Imagine having all the effluent from the municipals sewer system draining into your home. Obviously, you would have to vacate the property until the hazmat situation is resolved and the plumbing backflow issues dealt with. Proper design and installation of plumbing systems can help to prevent backflow, so property owners should always hire licensed plumbers to design and install their plumbing.
When buying a home or moving into a rental property, it is important you have the plumbing system on the property tested for backflow. After all, you do not want to encounter a backflow problem in the future. The ideal contractor should have a backflow testing license. This usually comes in form of an endorsement on an existing contractors license. The experience and reputation of the contractor should also be considered.
