Confidence in Your Water's Safety: Certified Backflow Testing & Repair
Our certified testing and repairs protect your water from unexpected pressure changes, ensuring its purity and giving you complete confidence in its safety.
A change in water pressure, something as simple as a nearby fire hydrant being used or a water main break, can cause a dangerous reversal of water flow in your plumbing. This is known as backflow, and it can pull contaminated water from sources like irrigation systems, boilers, or industrial equipment directly into your clean drinking water supply. For homes and businesses in Utah, understanding and preventing backflow is not just a matter of compliance—it's a critical health and safety issue.
At Empire Plumbing, we are certified experts in backflow prevention, offering comprehensive services to safeguard your water against contamination. We ensure your plumbing meets all Utah state and local codes, giving you peace of mind that your water is safe and clean.
