Back Backflow, Back.

Someday a backflow problem may grip your household.  Clearly it will get your attention.  This is not just a leaky toilet, or a clogged disposal, this can be a whole-house disaster!  Backflow is a term in plumbing for an unwanted flow of water in the reverse direction.  It can be a serious health risk and it needs to be dealt with quickly and completely.

This nasty event is caused by cross-connections that have the potential of allowing contaminants into the drinking water system. Something called back siphonage can occur when the pressure in a tank or water trough is lower than the water system's pressure. Yet another cause of backflow is back pressure.  It happens in Chicagoland all too frequently.

When backflow rears its ugly head in the far West Suburbs it is time to call in a real professional.  That is backflow plumbing expert Scott Swanson and his team at Bee Plumbing.  They will take your call and schedule an appointment for a visit from Scott and his crew.  Just call with any plumbing problem at one of the numbers listed on bee-plumbinginc.com.
