Hello World! Welcome Friends! Backflow testing is a critically important service that helps to ensure your home or another property has clean and safe water with which to drink, bathe, cook, and clean. Without clean and fresh water, serious illnesses might result. One of the ways in which residential freshwater supplies often are depleted is by a sewage backup. Whether you have a septic tank or are connected to a municipal water system, sewage backup could occur.
The cause often is a broken or plugged pipe that forces sewage to back up. If you have a septic tank, it might get overwhelmed by a lot of rain or melting snow that saturates the earth and causes the level to rise in the septic tank. Too much water could cause backflow in your septic tank that might go all the way back into your water system or even your home.
Backflow Testing Near Me Protects Your Home and Water
If your septic system and tank are old or your municipal system is outdated, backflow could become a really serious issue. Fortunately, you can do a quick search for backflow testing near me and find a highly qualified and experienced service to test your system.
Our backflow testing will determine whether you have a free-flowing system, potential blockage, or a fully blocked septic system that is more likely to cause serious problems for your home or other property. When we can catch it early, you stand a better chance of avoiding a potentially bad backflow that sends raw sewage into your home.
Installing a backflow device could be the difference between continued good sewage and water systems and having a backflow take out both. We can install a new backflow preventer or replace your old one if it is not doing its job. Annual inspections will help to ensure your septic system is working properly and you are in no immediate danger of a backflow problem.
Dangers Posed by Defective Septic Systems
A defective septic system poses more than just a danger of sewage backup. It could contaminate your water and deposit raw sewage into your home or other property. If you drink, bathe in, or otherwise use water that has been tainted by raw sewage, you run a significant risk of becoming ill. So would anyone else in your home, including your spouse and children.
Raw sewage might trigger a bout of E. coli infection or a similar disease or illness that could become deadly. The E. coli bacteria are harmless when they are just starting to grow inside the intestines of humans and other animals. It can become much worse when it becomes part of sewage waste that contaminates water.
E. coli commonly causes the closing of beaches and swimming areas in lakes, streams, and other bodies of water. The cause often is runoff that overtakes a sewage system and causes raw sewage to enter the water at a nearby location. It also could happen when wild animals deposit a lot of their natural waste in a particular area along a body of water.
Fortunately, we help homeowners and other property owners to effectively manage their sewage and potential backflows to make it unlikely for a backup to occur. Just contact us to learn more and find out if we can help you at Chicago Backflow.
