Plumbing Repair & Maintenance Kansas City Metro Area

Clean, safe water is something every household and business in Kansas City depends on daily.

Without the right protections, contaminants can enter your water supply through backflow.

Local utilities in Kansas and Missouri take this risk seriously, which is why many properties are required to install and maintain backflow prevention devices.

Anthony Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Electric provides trusted backflow prevention services across Kansas City, helping families and businesses protect their health, stay compliant with local codes, and maintain reliable plumbing systems that serve the entire community.

What Is Backflow?

Backflow happens when the normal flow of water is reversed and unwanted substances are pulled into your drinking water supply.

This reversal can occur when there is a sudden change in water pressure, such as during a main break, fire hydrant use, or heavy demand on the municipal system.

Left unprotected, that reversal can allow pesticides, fertilizers, or other contaminants to flow back into clean water lines.

What Is a Backflow Preventer?

A backflow preventer is a specialized plumbing device designed to stop contaminated water from entering the clean water supply.

Installed at cross-connections, where potable water and non-potable water could meet, it ensures only clean water moves into your home or business plumbing system.

Common locations include irrigation systems, fire suppression lines, and commercial kitchens.

These devices are required by Kansas City regulations for many properties to protect the public water system.

What Is Backflow Testing?

Backflow testing checks that your backflow preventer is operating correctly.

Certified technicians use specialized gauges to confirm that the valves inside the device open and close properly, preventing contaminated water from entering your clean supply.

In Kansas City, Kansas, and Missouri, many properties are required to complete annual backflow testing. Even when it is not mandated, testing provides peace of mind that your water system is working safely.

Regular testing also helps property owners avoid city fines and unexpected plumbing costs by ensuring devices stay in compliance year after year.
