Commercial Backflow Repair
24/7 Emergency Service
We Solve Commercial Backflow Problems
Backflow is a plumbing problem that can pose serious health hazards to humans. When the flow of water in a plumbing system is reversed, contaminants can enter the potable water supply. This can happen when there is a change in pressure in the plumbing system, causing non-potable water to flow back into the drinking water supply. Backflow can be prevented through the installation of a backflow prevention device, which stops the reverse flow of water.
Common Causes of Backflow In Commercial Plumbing
Cross-Connections
These occur when there is a connection between the potable water supply and a non-potable source, such as a sewage system.
Pressure Changes
When there is a sudden drop in pressure in the plumbing system, it can cause backflow to occur.
Backsiphonage
This happens when there is a vacuum created in the plumbing system, which can suck non-potable water back into the potable water supply.
Backflow Prevention Devices
Backflow prevention devices are designed to prevent the reverse flow of water in a plumbing system. There are several types of backflow prevention devices, including:
Air Gaps
These are physical gaps between the end of a water supply outlet and the level of the water it is supplying. Air gaps provide a physical barrier between the potable water supply and any potential contaminants.
Double-Check Valves
These are devices that are installed in the plumbing system and are designed to prevent backflow by using two check valves.
Reduced Pressure Zone (RPZ) Valves
These are the most common type of backflow prevention device and are designed to prevent backflow by using a combination of a check valve and a relief valve.

What Our Clients Say
I unfortunately came home to discover that my walls were weeping from a burst pipe. My leasing company contacted TCR for me and they were absolutely wonderful and incredibly kind. I was contacted by their dispatcher and when they found out that I had had to cut off my main water line, they had people out within 2 hours of my call. Both plumbers who came were very professional and nice. On top of that, they had my problem sorted quickly. They very obviously knew what they were doing. Cannot recommend them highly enough.
Casey Y
I'm a property manager and have used Terry and TCR for years. They are quick to respond and always accurate. They can handle small things like just replacing a faucet or major repairs that require digging, etc. They always pinpoint the issue and Terry follows up to make sure the customer is 100% happy. I used to use 3 or 4 different plumbers and now that I've been working with Terry, I never use anyone but TCR.
PPM Management
My rental property had a clogged drain last year. While other companies quoted me thousands of dollars and 2 weeks to clear the clog, TCR was able to do the job the same day for a reasonable price . They were prompt, courteous, professional, and got the job done. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, professional plumber.
