What Creates Backflow in Your Plumbing System

The idea of having toxic waste flowing back into your pure drinking water is definitely a nightmare for every homeowner. However, other than knowing that it is a terrible situation, most residents in Oceanside are unaware of what leads to this disaster in the first place. Deep in the complicated mass of piping below the surface, there are many different cross-connections that allow waste and dirty water to flow into the mainline. Backflow is the result of an accidental reversal of flow due to a sudden change in water pressure between these connections.

The two kinds of backflow which could occur in your plumbing system include:

  • Backflow as a result of backpressure – Sometimes, the pressure of wastewater flowing downwards rapidly increases in comparison to the flow of your potable water. Whether this is because too much water has been utilized at a single point in time, or because the temperature of a boiler or other water heater system has suddenly risen, this can lead to backpressure.
  • Backflow as a result of backsiphonage – Another kind of backflow is that of backsiphonage, which creates the same disastrous result but through an opposite set of circumstances. If a small vacuum forms within your potable supply, this space quickly decreases the pressure of your fresh water, allowing dirty backflow to infiltrate back up your system.

    Great Customer Service
    "We had plumbing issues at THE worst time, Friday after 5 pm! We had a leak coming from the toilet in our only bathroom. We called 4 plumbing companies and the only one that got back to us that evening was American Plumbing. They offered to come out that evening but Saturday morning was best for us and we were their first appointment! Ozzie Garcia was the technician that came out and he was great! Then Sunday afternoon we had an issue with our main water line and again, American Plumbing and Ozzie Garcia came to our rescue!! Both times they called back in a timely manner and took care of our plumbing issues right away. Ozzie is professional, courteous, timely, and has great customer service!! I will ALWAYS use them for my plumbing needs and refer them to friends and family!"

    "After contacting three other plumbers and getting elusive responses, I contacted American Plumbing and had a Technician out the next day. The kitchen sink had been clogged several days after Thanksgiving, as well as a shower drain. Took less than an hour! David was very nice and professional."

    "Andrew was amazing and was able to repair our A/C unit very quickly and efficiently. He was able to come within one hour of me calling in on a Saturday! Once he removed the A/C box, we were surprised with 3 fried rats!! He was able to remove them and fix our A/C. It's working great! We would highly recommend this company and Andrew!"

    "Way overdue in writing this review as it has been quite the year.  However, we are always very happy with the excellent service that we receive from American Plumbing Heating & Air Conditioning that I just need to recognize a company that goes above and beyond.

    This particular review is on Nick and Juan who installed our air conditioner during one of the hottest weeks of the year.  They were so professional and extremely knowledgeable about the unit that was being installed.  From an original visit to installation was seamless and complete in under a week.  They arrived wearing their masks and my home and yard were spotless when they left.  

    I also want to thank the office personnel as scheduling and payment were quick and easy.

    We definitely recommend American Plumbing Heating & Air Conditioning and will continue to do business with them!"

    “The repairmen were prompt, professional and did a thorough check of possible areas that might be affecting the heating system.”

    "The heater in my home was working sporadically, so I contacted APH&AC. They were exceptionally courteous and fit me in their busy schedule for the same day. The repairmen were prompt, professional and did a thorough check of possible areas that might be affecting the heating system. They spent about 90 minutes (which far exceeded just the typical "here's the problem, here's your bill"). Once the issue was detected, they let me know the anticipated cost of the part and what the results would be. I was very happy with their work, professionalism, and courtesies and highly recommend this company."
