Boise, Nampa and Caldwell's Leading Experts in Backflow Prevention Devices

Do you have yard sprinklers?  If you answered yes to that question then you should have a backflow preventer.  If you don't have a backflow preventer then you need to get one installed, if you do already have one, it needs to be tested yearly for proper operation.  What a backflow preventer does is it prevents back siphon age of potentially contaminated water out of your drinking water.  If there is ever a major drop in the city water and you have your sprinklers running there is potential for there to be a back siphon age, that back siphon age can cause water from your yard where there are chemical fertilizers, animal feces ect. that can be then siphoned back into your drinking water.  There has been proven cases of this happening and caused people to get sick or even die.  If you are a candidate for a backflow preventer or have an existing one Drake Mechanical has you covered.  We have certified technicians that have been trained to test and repair or replace the devices and make sure that they are in proper working order.  This keeps you and your family safe from potentially dangerous situations.
