RPZ…1-2-3.

What is RPZ backflow testing? Let the plumbing experts at All Home Plumbing of Chattanooga give you a quick tutorial. Chattanooga plumbing systems are generally designed to keep water at a specific pressure so that it flows normally. Now, if the pressure falls, contaminated groundwater could enter your system, leading to a potentially serious issue known as backflow.

The conditions that can result in a backflow problem may include –

1.  A main break causing the water pressure to drop suddenly.

2.  Fluctuations in the city water main could occur.

3.  It is possible that the fire department may have to tap into a hydrant.

In order to keep this type of backflow from occurring, an RPZ valve must be installed to protect your Chattanooga area home or office water supply. The backflow technician at All Home Plumbing has been certified since the last century. For the experience you rely on call All Home Plumbing at (423) 598-1466.
