Orlando Backflow Prevention
Prevent Dangerous Backflow Contamination
Backflow occurs when the normal water flow within a plumbing system reverses, allowing potentially contaminated water to enter the clean water supply. The result? A severe risk to your health. In residential and commercial settings, backflow contamination can lead to serious consequences, including illness, infection, or even death.
Backflow prevention devices are essential in safeguarding drinking water from contaminants and pollutants, letting only clean water flow into your home or business. Without proper prevention, the safety of the community is at stake.
Installing and inspecting backflow prevention devices is not a simple task. It requires adherence to strict codes and regulations to ensure the functionality of the system. Professional plumbers understand these guidelines and have the skills to perform the work correctly. At Ace Solves It All, our licensed and insured technicians are well-versed in the latest standards and best practices and know what it takes to do the job right.

Residential Backflow Prevention
In residential settings, backflow can occur in various scenarios, often due to changes in water pressure within the plumbing system. For example, if the main water pipe experiences a pressure loss, it can cause contaminated water from the home’s plumbing system to flow back into the community's drinking water supply.
Other sources of backflow include in-ground irrigation systems, which can create cross-connections, and garden hoses with one end connected to outdoor spigots and the other inserted into potentially hazardous substances such as sewer cleanouts or weed killers.
Benefits of Residential Valve Installation
Installing a backflow prevention valve in your home is a proactive step in safeguarding your community’s water supply. By preventing contaminated water from flowing back into the public water system, you help protect your family and your neighbors.
Commercial Backflow Prevention
Commercial properties are subject to specific local and state regulations regarding backflow prevention. These regulations are in place to protect the public water supply from contamination caused by the more complex plumbing systems often found in commercial settings.
In Orlando, businesses must install and maintain backflow prevention devices in compliance with these regulations, ensuring that their operations do not pose a risk to the community’s water quality.
Importance of Commercial Backflow Valve Installation
The risks associated with backflow in commercial settings are significant. Contaminated water can harm customers and employees and lead to costly legal liabilities and reputational damage. Installing a commercial-grade backflow prevention valve is essential in protecting your business from these risks.
Commercial Backflow Valve Inspection and Testing
Regular inspection and testing of backflow prevention devices are mandatory for commercial properties. These inspections must be conducted at the time of installation, annually after that, and whenever the device is repaired or relocated.
Periodic testing ensures that the valve operates correctly and effectively, preventing backflow. Commercial property owners are responsible for maintaining, repairing, and replacing backflow preventers as needed. They must report testing results to the utility company.

Our Backflow Valve Installation Process
Installing a backflow prevention valve involves several critical steps to ensure it functions properly and meets all regulatory requirements. First, our technicians determine the correct valve placement, typically on the correct side of the potable water meter connection or another suitable location if placement near the meter is not possible. We ensure that the valve is accessible and has adequate ground-level clearance. Our technicians also provide proper support to prevent sagging and maintain the integrity of the installation.
Types of backflow valves we install include:
- Air gap
- Reduced pressure backflow prevention assembly
- Pressure vacuum breaker backflow prevention assembly
- Double check valve backflow prevention assembly
Backflow Valve Inspection and Maintenance
Regular inspections ensure that your backflow prevention valve continues to function correctly. Inspections verify that the device is operational and free of leaks, which could compromise its effectiveness. Routine maintenance helps identify potential issues before they become significant problems, prolonging the valve's life and maintaining the safety of your water supply.
During a backflow valve inspection, our technicians will:
- Check for signs of damage or leaks
- Perform pressure testing at various points in the system
- Verify that the valve is operating as intended
After the inspection, we provide a detailed report and recommendations for repairs or maintenance.
