Backflow Prevention in Glenview, IL

RPZ Backflow Preventer

RPZ valves, also known as reduced pressure zone valves, are backflow preventer valves specifically designed for commercial and industrial buildings. This type of valve is particularly important for businesses in food processing, catering, brewery and distillation plants, car washes, and hotels. One of the features that delineates an RPZ valve from a regular backflow prevention valve is that RPZ valves must be tested annually by an RPZ accredited tester. The plumbing professionals at Reliance Plumbing Sewer & Drainage, Inc. are accredited RPZ testers, and as such, we can install, repair, replace or maintain RPZ valve for your commercial or industrial space.

What Causes Backflow?

One of the leading causes of a backflow problem is an issue with the municipal water supply. In a case like this, the problem doesn’t originate with your home, but you will still need have an expert check your system and clean any contamination that has infiltrated your home’s plumbing system, fixtures and appliances.

However, the main concern here is with your drinking water and potable water. Our backflow prevention device installation helps in protecting potable water from the backflow created by fire sprinkler and irrigation systems. When improperly protected with a backflow prevention device, contamination can occur, causing health and safety issues.
