Backflow is the undesirable reversal of flow of non-potable water or other substances through a cross-connection and into the potable water system. There are two types of backflow: back-pressure backflow and back-siphonage.
Back-pressure backflow occurs when the pressure downstream exceeds the pressure upstream or at the supply in a public water system or consumer’s potable water system. This can happen due to factors such as pumps, temperature increases in boilers, or other conditions that raise the downstream pressure above the upstream supply pressure.
Back-siphonage is a type of backflow caused by negative pressure (a vacuum or partial vacuum) in a public or consumer’s potable water system. It’s similar to the effect of drinking water through a straw. Back-siphonage can happen when there’s a stoppage in the water supply, such as during nearby firefighting or a break in a water main.
A backflow preventer is a device installed in your plumbing system to prevent contaminated water from flowing backward into the clean water supply. This is crucial for maintaining the safety and quality of your drinking water. At Bulldog Rooter, we specialize in installing and maintaining backflow preventers to protect your home and health.
It’s recommended to test and maintain your backflow preventer annually. Regular maintenance ensures it operates effectively, preventing any potential contamination. Bulldog Rooter offers comprehensive testing and maintenance services to keep your backflow preventer in optimal condition.
A backflow prevention device uses valves to block any reverse flow of water, ensuring that contaminated water doesn’t mix with your clean water supply. Bulldog Rooter’s expert technicians install these devices with precision, guaranteeing your water remains safe and uncontaminated.
There are several types of backflow preventers, including atmospheric vacuum breakers, pressure vacuum breakers, and reduced pressure zone assemblies. The best type for your property depends on your specific needs and local regulations. Bulldog Rooter can assess your situation and recommend the most suitable backflow preventer for your home or business.
Common signs that your backflow preventer needs attention include unusual noises, water leaks, or a drop in water pressure. If you notice any of these issues, Bulldog Rooter can quickly diagnose and repair or replace your backflow preventer, ensuring your water system remains safe and functional.
Absolutely, Bulldog Rooter offers winterization services to protect your backflow preventer from freezing and damage during cold weather. Our technicians will prepare your system to withstand harsh winter conditions, ensuring continuous protection for your water supply.
Clean water isn’t something you want to gamble with. A pressure vacuum breaker (PVB) is one of the simplest and most effective ways to protect your home or business from backflow contamination—and it’s required by code for many irrigation, sprinkler, and outdoor plumbing systems.
At Bulldog Rooter, we offer professional pressure vacuum breaker installation, testing, maintenance, and repair throughout Spokane and Northern Idaho.

For 15+ years, we’ve helped thousands of homeowners and business owners safeguard their plumbing with honest service and expert care—24/7, with no surprise fees.
Backflow happens when a sudden change in water pressure—like a burst pipe or firefighting activity—causes water to reverse direction and flow contaminants into your clean water supply. That’s where pressure vacuum breakers come in.
A PVB is a specialized valve installed on outdoor or auxiliary water lines. It prevents dirty or chemically treated water from flowing backward into your household plumbing, helping to keep drinking water safe from:
It’s a small device that can prevent a major health hazard—and it’s required by plumbing codes for many irrigation systems, outdoor faucets, and commercial plumbing setups.
At Bulldog Rooter, we make pressure vacuum breaker service simple and stress-free. Whether you need a brand-new unit or a replacement, our technicians handle the installation with precision and care—ensuring correct placement, protection from freezing, and full compliance with local regulations.
And we don’t stop at setup. Annual testing is essential to make sure your backflow prevention device is functioning properly and up to code. We provide efficient, certified backflow testing services that meet all inspection standards and help you avoid costly violations or system failures.
If you already have a pressure vacuum breaker installed, it’s important to stay alert to signs of wear or failure, including:
