What Does a Backflow Preventer Do?

The water entering your home from the main water supply line should always flow in one direction. When pressure fluctuates in your pipes, the result can be backflow into the main water supply line. This can cause all kinds of hazardous contaminants to enter your drinking water, including fertilizers, human waste, chlorine, and soap scum. A backflow prevention system is a unique device that keeps backflow problems from affecting your main water supply line. After being installed on the pipe, the backflow preventer will monitor water flow and stop the flow of water, should it detect backflow into the main water supply. This ensures that you stay safe and protected, all year long!

Previous companies were charging over $700 just for a diagnostic. Genz- Ryan’s diagnostic was $59 and after inspection I was provided three levels of quotes. Quick , professional , affordable and got the job done. I’m grateful to be stress free.

Mike L, technician from Genz-Ryan serviced my HVAC system on 4/1/26. Mike, was very gentle, compassionate, and took his time to explain what was wrong with my HVAC. Mike was not pushy, but gave me several options to get the system going for at least another 5 years. He made me feel comfortable and confident on the choice I made. I know Genz-Ryan may have other wonderful technicians, but I will choose Mike anytime. Thank you Mike and keep up with the good work. You’re down to earth.

​I couldn’t be happier with the service I received today. Jesus F. arrived right on time, was incredibly professional, and took the time to explain exactly what was going on with my system.

​It is rare to find a technician who is both highly skilled and genuinely honest about what repairs are necessary versus what can wait. Jesus worked efficiently, kept the workspace spotless, and had everything up and running perfectly in no time.

​If you’re looking for reliable, high-quality HVAC work, I cannot recommend Jesus enough. Truly top-notch service!
