Our backflow services experts can also inspect your plumbing system to confirm that your property has an appropriate backflow device or device.
What is Backflow?
Water flows under pressure through municipal water lines to homes and businesses. Backflow is the inverse flow of dirty water through the clean water lines. Dirty water could be contaminated with feces, pesticides, chemicals, fertilizer, and other hazardous substances, and cause a serious health hazard. Backflow can happen at cross-connections between potable and non-potable water at any residential, commercial, or industrial system.
Backflow Prevention
Most municipal codes may require the installation of a backflow prevention device at every cross-connection point located within the plumbing systems of apartments, condominiums, food establishments, and most public and commercial areas. The type of backflow preventer required should be appropriate to the amount of hazard within the premises.
A backflow prevention device most commonly consists of a pair of mechanical check values that prevent dirty water from flowing back into the clean water source in the event of an abrupt or radical change in water pressure. If properly installed and maintained, a backflow preventer will keep drinking water safe and free of contaminants.
Backflow Testing
Backflow valves must be inspected annually to ensure proper function and to maintain your premises in compliance with the local code. Your freshwater supply is subject to interruption and your business may be fined if backflow testing is not completed.
Quality Backflow Services
Your technician will handle all essential paperwork concerning your yearly inspection. Roto-Rooter will then remind you of your next annual backflow test to ensure your property stays in good standing with the local water authority.
Contact or schedule your backflow test today and rely on Roto-Rooter to help keep your house and water safe.

Best emergency service ever! I had a plumber (ERIC) here in 30 min after i called and right after he showed up so did the water restoration guy (EDUARDO R.). They were super polite and left the place spotless

The water heater for our nail shop stopped working on Valentine's Day weekend. They had a technician out same day I called (they took my call at 3AM! And had the technician on the way before 8am when they opened. The technician, Robert Gomez, worked around all the issues we had, small space, having water come out of the piped when people would use cold water at our pedicure stations, etc, and handled it all like a champ. He worked tirelessly and had us up and running by halfway through the day with a brand new commercial grade water heater, and up to code installation. He had a great attitude, and went above and beyond helping to get the job done. Very impressed with his service.

It was a holiday Sunday when we noticed what appeared to be wet toilet paper on our driveway coming from a pipe access like labeled "sewer." We tried a toilet flush test and low and behold we could see water coming up from the access. Roto Rooter came within 2 hours of calling and roto-rooted that sucker clean!
