For many industrial businesses in the greater Boston area, backflow remains an important issue to prevent. This is the phenomenon whereby contaminated water mixes in with potable (drinking) water in a plumbing system and renders it unusable. It’s a problem anytime of year, but can be particularly thorny during the winter. That’s why a quality backflow prevention device may be just what you need to prevent the problem from occurring, and why now is the ideal time to get one installed in your plumbing system.
