Backflow Preventer Installation & Repair in Maryland

Serving Baltimore, Annapolis, Bethesda & More

Every home and business deserves clean water! To be sure your water supply does not get contaminated by a backflow issue, you will want to invest in a backflow preventer installation. Water Doctor’s certified backflow prevention technicians are able to install, repair, and test backflow preventers for commercial and residential properties on all well and city water systems in the central Maryland area.

Why Do I Need A Backflow Preventer for My Water System?

A backflow preventer is used to protect your clean water from the contamination that occurs from backflow. Water is typically maintained at a significant pressure to allow free, consistent flow from all fixtures in your building. At times, this constant pressure may be reduced when a water main bursts, pipes freeze, or there is an unexpected high demand on the water system. When this change in pressure occurs, your pipe may allow contaminated water from the ground or other unsanitary sources to be drawn up into the system.

To avoid this inconvenient water issue, we invite you to work with Water Doctor’s licensed Master Plumbers and backflow technicians. When it comes to your water supply, you can rely on our team of experts who have had professional training and certification in backflow prevention!

Backflow preventers are most commonly required with:

• Irrigation systems
• Fire sprinkler systems
• Laboratories
• Water treatment systems
• Chemical tanks

Call Water Doctor today at 877-677-9275 to schedule your backflow preventer service.
