Walker Backflow and Fire Protection Services
What is a Backflow?
Backflow is the reversal of the flow of water from its intended direction in any pipeline or plumbing system.  Backflow is dangerous because it can allow drinking water in plumbing systems to become contaminated and unusable, possibly even deadly.  Backflow can allow bacteria and other contaminants to enter your tap and drinking water supply.  Fortunately, this problem can be prevented.

THE SOLUTION
Backflow Preventors are mechanical plumbing devices installed in a plumbing system to prevent water from flowing backwards and becoming contaminated.  A properly installed, tested, and maintained backflow preventor at the service entrance to the building or property can reliably prevent the backflow of water of an unknown quality.
Backflow Testing and Prevention
Walker Backflow and Fire Protection Services specializes in the testing, repair, and installation of backflow prevention devices.  We are certified to perform these services in the states of Alabama, Tennessee, and Mississippi.  Travis Walker is highly trained and qualified in the field, having received certification from the Environment and Conservation Division and the American Water Works Association.

The Environmental and Protection Agency and the American Water Works Association, as well as state and local water authorities, have placed an emphasis on cross connection and backflow testing as a means of keeping the water systems safe for the consumer.  Walker Backflow and Fire Protection Services is focusing attention in this area in response to the new policies set by these organizations.

Attention Home and Business Owners:

Walker Backflow and Fire Protection ServicesIf you have domestic water service, an irrigation system, or a fire protection system, you probably have backflow devices already present on your property.  Your local water authority requires that these devices be tested on a regular basis.  Failure to comply with testing requirements may result in fines and your water service being discontinued.  Due to recent developments regarding water contaminations and the war on terror,  compliance is mandatory!  

If you already have backflow devices installed, set up an appointment to have your devices tested today!
