FAQ

Most frequent questions and answers

Backflow preventers are crucial for protecting the safety of our drinking water. In certain situations, such as when there is a loss of pressure in the main water supply, the flow of water can reverse direction and bring contaminants back into the clean water supply. This can be extremely dangerous and even deadly if consumed by humans. By installing a backflow preventer from RBA Mechanical, you can ensure that your potable water supply remains free from any potential contamination. Our high-quality and reliable backflow preventers have been extensively tested to meet all industry standards, giving you peace of mind and an added layer of protection for your family’s health and well-being.

As a customer, it is important to be aware of the risks and regulations surrounding backflow prevention. Generally, backflow preventers are required in all commercial, industrial, and institutional buildings after the water meter. This ensures that any potential contaminated fluid is stopped from flowing back into the main potable water supply. Additionally, backflow preventers are necessary for irrigation systems, fire systems, and water make-up systems (including for residential homes) – protecting both you and the community’s water supply from potential contamination. Our team at RBA Mechanical can help assess your specific needs and ensure that you have the proper backflow preventers in place to keep your water supply safe. Trust us to provide reliable and efficient solutions for all your backflow prevention needs.

Backflow preventers play a crucial role in preventing contamination of potable water, so it is essential that they are tested regularly to ensure they are working correctly. In most cases, an annual test is sufficient, but in extreme high hazard conditions, such as industrial sites or hospitals, it may be necessary to have the backflow preventer tested twice a year. At RBA Mechanical, we understand the importance of maintaining safe and reliable backflow prevention systems, which is why we offer professional testing services to give our customers peace of mind and comply with regulations. Trust us to keep your water supply safe and healthy with our expert backflow preventer testing services.

When a backflow preventer fails testing, it means that it is no longer functioning properly and could potentially lead to contaminated water entering your home or building.

However, at RBA Mechanical, we have the experience and knowledge to accurately diagnose the issue and determine the necessary repairs or replacements. Our skilled technicians will troubleshoot the test results with precision to identify the root cause of the failure. In most cases, our team can repair the device rather than replacing it entirely, saving you time and money. Trust RBA Mechanical to keep your water supply clean and safe with our top-notch backflow prevention services.

Trust RBA Mechanical to handle all of your backflow prevention needs with our experienced technicians and top-of-the-line equipment.
