What Is Backflow—and Why Should You Care?

Problem: Backflow occurs when contaminated water flows backward into your clean water supply—usually due to a sudden change in pressure. This can introduce pesticides, bacteria, or other harmful substances into your home or business’s plumbing system.
 

Agitation: Without a properly functioning backflow preventer, your drinking water could become dangerous. What’s worse? Most backflow issues are invisible. You won’t smell it. You won’t see it. You won’t even know it’s happening until it’s too late—and by then, the damage could be extensive.
 

Solution: That’s where we come in. Action Service Company is licensed and qualified to test, repair, and install Reduced Pressure Zone (RPZ) devices—the most effective solution to keep your water clean, safe, and up to code.

Who Needs Backflow Testing?

If you own property in Statesville, NC, or surrounding areas and you have an irrigation system, fire sprinkler, commercial building, or certain types of residential setups, local regulations may require annual backflow testing.

You're especially at risk if you have:

  • Lawn irrigation systems
  • Commercial kitchens
  • Boilers or fire sprinkler systems
  • Swimming pools
  • Soda fountains or beverage dispensers
  • Multifamily dwellings or rental properties

We help homeowners, landlords, and business owners stay compliant with local ordinances and protect their plumbing systems from dangerous contamination.
