We implement backflow prevention through:

• Installation: We install devices such as double check valves, reduced pressure zone (RPZ) assemblies, and pressure vacuum breakers where there’s a risk of backflow. Each system is chosen based on the specific hazards and plumbing setup of the facility.
• Custom Solutions: We assess each defense facility for unique backflow risks, tailoring our approach to whether the threat involves back pressure or back siphonage. This might involve installing backflow preventers at critical points like fire sprinkler systems, industrial boilers, or irrigation systems.
• Annual Testing and Certification: Compliance with local and national regulations is crucial. We perform annual tests to ensure devices function correctly, providing necessary certifications to confirm that the water system is protected against contamination.
• Maintenance and Repair: Regular maintenance checks are conducted to ensure all parts are in good working order. If issues are detected, we repair or replace components to maintain system integrity.
• Education and Consultation: We educate facility managers on the importance of backflow prevention, explaining how to recognize potential issues and when to seek professional help, ensuring ongoing system health.
• Emergency Response: In case of failures or contamination risks, our team is ready for immediate response to mitigate damage and restore safety.

By integrating these practices, we protect both the water supply and the operational integrity of defense facilities in Charleston, SC.
