Protecting your water supply is one of the most important steps you can take for your home or business. Especially when we rely on a clean and consistent water system not only for drinking, but also for cooking, cleaning, and running daily operations. Without proper safeguards, contaminants from irrigation, industrial use, or plumbing malfunctions can flow back into your water supply. Luckily, at Pro Plumbing, we provide expert backflow prevention in Baton Rouge, LA, as well as backflow testing services to keep your water safe and your property in compliance with local requirements.
And for over 20 years, we’ve been the trusted plumbing company serving Baton Rouge and the surrounding areas. From the neighborhoods of Denham Springs and Prairieville to Gonzales, Zachary, Central, Port Allen, Baker, and Walker, we’ve helped homeowners, restaurants, and businesses ensure their water stays clean and dependable.
Why Backflow Prevention Matters
Baton Rouge’s mix of older neighborhoods and new developments means plumbing systems can vary widely from one property to the next. Add in our heavy rainfall, clay soil, and seasonal flooding, and water pressure fluctuations are common. These changes in pressure are what make backflow possible.
Backflow happens when water reverses direction in your plumbing system, pulling contaminants back into your clean supply. That can include pesticides from sprinklers, bacteria from standing water, or even chemicals from commercial operations. It’s not just an inconvenience: it can be a serious health hazard.
Having a certified backflow prevention device installed, inspected, and tested ensures your family, employees, or customers are protected from these risks.
