Backflow issues can cause serious problems in the household, specifically the contamination of drinking water in the plumbing system. When backflow occurs, there is an unwanted reversal of the flow of water from its projected direction in any pipeline. Winters® Home Services provides Massachusetts residents with effective backflow services, allowing families and individuals to sip on clean, healthy water. We’ll provide a full inspection to ensure proper operation and to maintain compliance with local code.

Schedule your Boston backflow testing appointment when you call 617-221-5899 or contact us online. Same-day service is available!

What Is Backflow?

Backflow is when the pressure in a typical plumbing system fails and the distribution of water goes to the opposite direction. When this happens, water can become contaminated with pollutants, which can be hazardous to your health.

Backflow Prevention Devices

A Backflow Prevention Device is used to protect water supplies from contamination. We encourage all homeowners to test their device at least once a year to ensure it is working properly. Failure to test this could lead to a harmful backflow in the future.

What Is Involved in a Water Backflow Test?

Backflow tests are quite simple when done by our experienced Boston plumbers. The device does have test ports, which allow the yearly testing to occur. Our technicians will connect our test kit to the device and verify that it is working properly.

Why Is My Water Backflow Device Failing?

If your backflow device is not working correctly, this could be due to water pressure, water quality, or frequency of use. However, only 5% of tested devices have problems. A majority are caused by worn O-rings, cut seals, or broken springs. Winters® Home Services provides thorough water backflow tests and if you find your water backflow device failing, we offer fast repair service.

"I called yesterday about a problem bathroom sink faucet, was promised someone would be here today between 8-10 AM, and at 8:10 he was here. He dealt with the faucet leak, explained exactly what was happening and gave me a long-term solution together with a cost estimate. I couldn't be more satisified"

"Jaden was more knowledgeable and punctual and thorough than some of the past service techs so this is a good improvement. In general Winters is very good which is why I have an annual service contract with them but they slipped a bit when they stopped offering weekend call out services."

"Can't say enough positive things about my experience with Joe and Pat from Winters Home Services who were here for 3 days replacing my furnace. That was not an easy task as it is located in a tough to reach spot that required a lot of physical effort and patience. From the get go they were polite, efficient and obviously very competent. Their communication with me was excellent throughout the process. I felt confident that I was in good hands and would highly recommend them and Winters Home Services in the future."

"I was having a serious "find the leak" problem and found Winter's on the web. First, a real person answered the phone. And then, a terrific young man appeared right on schedule within 24 hours of my call, and he went through all my water-related machines, but could find nothing wrong.Even gave the house a second gound with the same result. Suspecting that my meter fan faulty, he gave me a clear run-down of what I should tell my town water supplier. When I asked if he took Visa, he actually said: "You don't owe me any money; I didn't fix anything". Now that's a group worth doing business with."
