Backflow is the undesirable reversal of the flow of water, or a mixture of water and pollutants, into our potable water system. It happens when the water system is reversed due to a pressure drop. When there is a pressure drop, contaminated water can be drawn backwards into the water system. All commercial properties in Philadelphia are required to have installed a certified backflow preventer with annual inspection.

Most times with high water bills we find the problem is a running toilet, a replacement of a flapper or fill valve usually solves the problem, in instances of a water meter in a pit and the service entering the house a sudden loss of water pressure and spike in water bill can be a leak on that underground line. We have a locater to isolate the break in that line and we can do a repair in some instances rather that a full replacement.
