something a AAA AUGER Tulsa Plumber takes to heart.
AAA AUGER Tulsa Plumber strives to protect fresh-water sources from cross
contamination, which can turn drinking water hazardous. Cross contamination occurs
when potable (or drinking) water comes into physical contact with a non-potable source
such as chemicals or sewage.
Common examples of cross contamination are backsiphonage and backpressure.
Backsiphonage occurs when a plumbing system loses water pressure causing the water
supply to flow in the opposite direction. This can cause siphoning of contaminated water
to come into contact with potable water.
Another type of contamination, backpressure, happens when water pressure in a
plumbing system is too high and non-potable water is forced back into the potable water
supply.
Water contaminants can cause a range of negative health effects such as: nausea, lung
irritation, skin rash, dizziness, chronic health problems and even death.

water through the services we provide. Our backflow prevention services work to keep
