Backflow Is Preventable
Your local plumbing professional can recommend the backflow prevention device that is best suited for your commercial or residential property. Types of backflow preventions include:
- Air gap – An air gap is created at the end of your water supply line to maintain positive pressure. This is not always an efficient solution.
- AVB – The atmospheric vacuum breaker is installed at the end of a water pipe to maintain water pressure.
- DCV – Double-check valves have two spring-loaded check valves and a shutoff valve. DCVs are often used for underground backflow prevention.
- PVB – A pressure vacuum breaker can regulate water pressure using a spring-loaded check valve with a shutoff valve. Some PVBs can leak; a spill-resistant device is better.
- RPZA – Reduced pressure zone assemblies are extremely efficient and dependable. Two spring-loaded check valves and an inlet shutoff valve are separated by test cocks, an outlet shutoff valve, and a pressure differential relief valve.
Ask your M.E. Flow plumbing pros what type of backflow preventer will be most effective for your type of property. We’ll explain the safest, most efficient locations for installation.

When you install a backflow preventer, you’ve made a purchase that will protect your property physically now — but you’ve also shown diligence in protecting your loved ones, tenants, and employees, which can protect you financially.
Your backflow prevention device should be inspected as part of your regular plumbing maintenance agreement. At a minimum, have your backflow preventer professionally tested every year.
M.E. Flow plumbing pros can inspect all your water systems for deterioration or pain points. But inspecting and maintaining your backflow prevention device is extremely important: One fail can cause irreparable and/or long-lasting damage.
