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!

Our tech, Damian, was very professional and knew what he was talking about. He was very thorough on diagnosing the issues we were having. I appreciate that he took the time to explain the problems he found in such a way that I could understand. He stayed as long as it took to help us figure out a solution.

We opted to get new installations (the repair out weighted new appliances). Damian helped us find the best price for us—he didn’t nickel and dime us.

Steffon Drumgoole came out to our home to take care of some plumbing repairs, and he delivered truly outstanding customer service. He was professional, friendly, polite, and extremely thorough in his work. I also asked him for a quote on another project, and he took the time to explain everything clearly and thoughtfully. Thank you for the excellent service, Steffon—kudos to you!

Eulises came out to replace a broken garden spigot. Even though he was here for just that, he did a thorough inspection on my plumbing to ensure I had no other issues. First time using Genz Ryan and can confirm I will be using them going forward! Honest and upfront about what is needed to be repaired/replaced VS things that can wait. Pricing was on par with other competitors, did not once feel I was being price gouged or taken advantage of. If every tech was like Eulises there wouldn’t be a single bad tech. He is the reason we decided to trust Genz Ryan with our home repair going forward!
