Backflow is the unintended flow of a liquid in the opposite direction. What makes it a hazard is that the water may come from a possibly polluted source, which then makes its way to a portable water supply or main. This can carry harmful contaminants—chemicals, oil, bacteria, mud and debris—that can be dangerous to your health.
Contaminants can travel through the drinking water system through a cross connection. It can be caused by faulty plumbing or when you have hoses submerged in buckets, tanks or pools.
Bringing Water Back in the Right Direction
So why would water from your property flow backwards into your pipes? For instance, it could be caused by a drop in pressure during a main break. It also likely occurs when water pressure in your property is higher than the main, such as when a pump is operating on the site.
