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!

Mike Hill and Genz-Ryan went above and beyond to help our family in a furnace emergency while we were on vacation with freezing temperatures outside. Mike was professional, efficient, and quickly helped us find a solution to our furnace emergency. He made the whole process seamless and as painless as possible. He clearly laid out our options and helped us make the right decision for our home. We cannot recommend them enough!

Mike H was punctual when responding to the call. He went over our entire furnace system and advised what exactly was wrong and what needed to be done. In the end we ended up purchasing a new furnace and AC due to the deal on the two systems. Mike H went over all options explaining the pros to each one and we were able to make a well informed system. I highly recommend Mike H for all your HVAC needs. We will follow up with him for all future maintenance.

Mike was great. He diagnosed our problem in no time. The price was something he no real control over so I wish it would've been a touch cheaper. But to get it done fast and right the first time was worth it. Mike gets five stars

Eulises was very knowledgeable and gave us very clear explanations of everything he found, and what our best options were for repair. Excellent service and excellent value. Highly recommend Eulises at GenzRyan ✨️

Edited to add: we had Noah and Ricky over to do some furnace work and they were great! Noah literally helped feed my toddler dinner. 5 stars, no notes
