In the warm, storm-prone climate of Tampa Bay, water is everywhere—running through our sprinklers, filling our pools, hydrating our gardens, and, most importantly, flowing through our homes. But what happens when that water flows in the wrong direction?
This is where a backflow preventer becomes essential—and no one knows how to protect your water supply better than Cass Plumbing, Tampa Bay’s most trusted plumbing service. A properly installed backflow preventer stops contaminated water from flowing back into your clean water lines, keeping your home and family safe. With Tampa Bay’s heavy rains, flooding, and aging infrastructure, this simple device can make all the difference. At Cass Plumbing, we not only install high-quality backflow preventers, but we also test and maintain them regularly to ensure peak performance year-round. Our licensed technicians are trained to spot vulnerabilities in your plumbing system before they become major hazards. When you choose Cass Plumbing, you’re choosing clean water, peace of mind, and a partner who truly cares about your home’s safety.
🚨 What Is Backflow—and Why Is It So Dangerous?
Backflow is exactly what it sounds like: water flowing in the opposite direction than it should. When water pressure changes—due to things like a burst pipe, power outage, or city hydrant use—it can cause contaminated water to reverse and enter your home’s clean water supply.
This water can contain fertilizers, human waste, pesticides, chemicals, or bacteria. It’s a serious health hazard—and in Florida’s flood-prone environment, it’s a real threat.
🌴 Why Tampa Bay Is Especially at Risk
- Frequent storms and flooding
- Irrigation systems and pools in nearly every yard
- Coastal infrastructure and low elevations
- A mix of older homes and newer builds
All of these factors increase the likelihood of backflow events. That’s why Cass Plumbing strongly recommends every homeowner in the region installs and maintains a backflow prevention system.
âś… Do You Need a Backflow Preventer?
If you answer yes to any of the following, you need one:
- Do you have an irrigation system?
- Do you own a pool or spa?
- Do you have a well or alternative water source?
- Are you in a flood-prone area?
- Do you live in a home with older plumbing?
Tampa Bay municipalities require annual backflow testing in many cases—especially for commercial properties, rentals, and homes with sprinkler systems.
Cass Plumbing is licensed and certified to perform backflow inspections and install all types of backflow devices, ensuring your system is up to code and fully functional.
🔍 Warning Signs You May Already Have a Problem
Water that tastes or smells off- Discolored water (brown, yellow, or cloudy)
- Unexpected dips in water pressure
- Water pooling around external plumbing systems
- Recent flooding or storm runoff near your property
If you notice any of these issues, call Cass Plumbing immediately. A fast response can prevent a major health hazard.
