What is Backflow?

Backflow occurs when water flows in the reverse direction, potentially contaminating your clean water supply with harmful substances such as chemicals, pesticides, and human waste. This polluted water can cause serious health risks, so it’s important to take the necessary steps to prevent it before it can wreak havoc on your water system. 

What Causes Backflow?

Backflow poses health hazards for you and your family and could also threaten the well-being of your entire neighborhood if the contaminants reach the municipal water supply. Here’s how backflow is often caused:

  • Back Siphonage: This occurs when there is a loss of pressure in your water system, resulting in contaminated water flowing back into the clean water supply. 
  • Back Pressure: This occurs when the water pressure in the system is higher than the clean water supply. 

How Do I Prevent Backflow?

Backflow can wreak havoc on your home, but Lickety-Split is here to help. We offer several ways to protect your home’s water supply from backflow. Here are the two most common types of backflow prevention:

  • Air Gap: An air gap is an open space between the device that connects your plumbing system and pipes. The physical separation between the potable and nonpotable water supply helps maintain the water pressure and prevent backflow.
  • Backflow Preventer Valve: A backflow preventer is a specialized valve designed to prevent water contamination by only allowing water to flow in one direction. To ensure seamless functioning, please note that these valves should only be installed by a licensed plumber.

Since 1990, the Florida Building Code has required that residential irrigation systems have a backflow preventer. The state requires that homeowners have their backflow preventers tested every two years by a certified backflow tester and that water utilities submit annual reports on the compliance status of their customers.

If you need to install a backflow prevention system in your home, the experts at Lickety-Split can help; contact our team of pros today to learn more about our solutions! 

A contaminated water supply is a homeowner’s worst nightmare, but you’ll never have to worry about that when you choose Lickety-Split. We take pride in offering expert backflow prevention services to our customers, so you can rest assured knowing we’ll be there for you when you need us.

Chuck and John were awesome. Quickly assessed and took care of my clog bath plumbing.

Extremely knowledgeable and informative with regards to my questions. No bull and no pressure just good work. Thanks Gents.
The Jeep Gal
I appreciate how professional and knowledgeable every person that has come out to the house has been! The technicians are efficient and great at explaining negative is going on to someone that knows nothing about ACs/plumbing/electrical.
Keith Burkhart
Lickety Split has always come through for any of my projects. Always kind, courteous, and punctual. I trust them to take care of all our electrical, A/C, and plumbing needs.
Evan Williams
The plumber takes pictures of the work and a supervisor does quality control. The plumber came back out later that day and installed a copper line in place of part of the PVC pipe. I really appreciate that level of quality control.
Jannette S Lee
My first encounter with this company was superior. Rain delayed the final inspection. I'm a very satisfied customer of Lickety Split AC, Plumbing & Electric St. Augustine Florida
Chris Schrum
Lickety Split has been great for us on several occasions. They have come the same day we called for service and are professional and committed to getting the job done. The last technician Conrad was friendly and willing to help me get a better understanding of our plumbing system. For someone like me who is not very handy it was a huge benefit to have Conrad answer my questions which gave me a lot more confidence in the work he was doing. The job was finished in a timely fashion and we will definitely be using them again!
Connie miller

Evan Williams
The installers arrived on time. They were very pleasant and explained what they were doing. They finished and cleaned up after themselves. We now have hot water!
Germaine Fernandes
Joshua was my technician, was very pleased with his service, he has integrity, which means a lot to me. He resolved a plumbing issue, that took seconds to do, no cost to me, which another plumber wanted to charge me for something that wasn't needed. He resolved a simple electric issue, which I thought would be more complex, but it wasn't, truly appreciate it. I wouldn't hesitate to refer or use them again.
Christine Cecil
The tech was fast and efficient with our estimate. Unfortunately, something came up and we didn't get the work done today but based on our tech, would call then again in the future for any plumbing needs.
Rob H
They're amazing at what they do. Stan is a hard worker. I can't recommend him, and the rest of them enough. If you live in the Jacksonville area of Florida, do use them for any Plumbing issues that you may have.
Peter Groeneveld
Company responded promptly and came out within hours. Bruce was our technician and resolved a water flow issue in my kitchen sink faucet. He was very professional and courteous and fixed the problem on the spot. We also had some other preventative services performed as complimentary. I recommend him!!!
Joel Mettler
I had some drainage pipes replaced as the old ones had rusted, cracked, and shifted so they no longer properly functioned. The Lickety Split team spent a half day diagnosing the problem before I hired them. Though the cost was higher than I expected, they did a great job replacing the plumbing and installing a new pump. I was very impressed with the caliber of employees. They were friendly, hard working, and good communicators. I've been very pleased with the plumbing and electrical work. Well done.
Elizabeth Trammell
We had plumbing issues all over the house! Bruce, from Lickity Split, came out first thing this morning. He went above and beyond to diagnose the issues and fix the problems. Bruce was kind, patient, and so knowledgeable. He is a huge asset to the company and a great human. We will use Lickity Split as long as Bruce is there!!
Breanne Abbott
Great service! They were very reliable, reasonably priced, and quickly helped us with our plumbing situation. I would definitely recommend to anyone. :)
The Jeep Gal
It gives us so much peace of mind to know that we are a priority response if anything ever happens with our plumbing, AC, or electric as a 24K client. Every single technician is incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and thorough even if they have just been out for the included maintenance and servicing. Today Jason made sure our AC units inside and out were deep cleaned and running as efficiently as possible as we approach summer when I’m sure they will be working hard.
Jack
Terry from Lickety Split AC, plumbing and electric did one of the most thorough tune ups in my ac system that I have ever had in my life… And I’m old. I highly recommend this ac company to anyone needing ac service.
James Young
Conrad is the best all-around plumber and a great guy to work with! He showed up on time and got right to work installing a multitude of fixtures around our condo. He was efficient, worked very cleanly and cleaned up after each install. He’s easy to talk to and took care of all our plumbing needs. When he had a problem with one of the toilets, he explained what was wrong very clearly and the issue was resolved very quickly. He is a credit to this organization and went above and beyond all of our expectations. We will be using Lickety Split (and hopefully Conrad) for all our plumbing needs in the future.
