What is Backflow in Country Life Acres, MO?
If you know nothing else about backflow, know this -- it's certainly not good. The rest you can leave up to us. Backflow is unsanitary water or sewage that is flowing in the opposite direction -- back from where it came. It is literally flowing back towards its source. It's a problem that can occur anywhere in your plumbing where pipes that are carrying water flowing in opposing directions intersect or cross-connect, and typically happens when there is an extreme change in water pressure, such as a burst pipe in Country Life Acres, MO.
Your Country Life Acres, MO sprinkler system consists of a system of underground pipes laid strategically throughout your property. Between uses of your sprinkler system, water sits in these pipes, ready to spring into action when the sprinkler system runs next. This is perfectly fine for watering your landscape, but this sitting water becomes less desirable for other uses once it's been sitting under your lawn. The sitting water trapped in your pipes becomes a hot spot for bacteria, minerals, or chemicals to build up, such as:
- Fertilizers/pesticides
- Chlorine from spas/pools
- Human waste
- Soap and residue from dishwashers/sinks/showers
If there is a sudden change in water pressure, the potentially contaminated water in your Country Life Acres, MO sprinkler system could end up entering the water source of your kitchen and bathroom taps and showerheads. As you can figure, backflow is unsavory at best and a severe health hazard at worst. Mineral-heavy water can damage your home, give your tap water a bad taste, irritate your skin, and potentially cause illnesses that can even become life-threatening.
What Causes Backflow Situations in Country Life Acres, MO?
Water naturally wants to move from an area with high pressure to an area of low pressure. The issue of backflow may occur in Country Life Acres, MO, if:
- The water pressure in the line is lowered
- There is a broken water line
- A large amount of water is being employed, like the amount necessary for fighting fires
- The sprinkler system is not installed properly, causing back-pressure from pump
