Backflow Preventer Services
Backflow Preventer Installation & Replacement in Bowling Green & Glasgow, KY
Residential backflow preventer installation and replacement in Bowling Green, Glasgow, and nearby communities are provided by Shane Elmore Plumbing. Backflow occurs when water reverses direction in a plumbing system, allowing used or unsafe water to flow back into the clean supply line. For many homes—especially those with irrigation or fire line connections—local codes require an approved backflow preventer to keep your drinking water safe.
Whether you’re adding a new irrigation or fire line connection, replacing an outdated device, or upgrading to a code-compliant model, our licensed plumbers handle everything from unit selection and permitting (where applicable) to professional installation and final code compliance—so your home is set up correctly from day one.
Why Backflow Prevention Matters
Backflow in a home’s plumbing system can allow contaminants like fertilizers, cleaning chemicals, or wastewater to enter your water supply. Installing a properly functioning backflow preventer ensures that your drinking and household water stays clean and safe.
When to Replace Your Backflow Preventer
Backflow devices should be replaced when:
-They fail an inspection or leak during operation
-They’re outdated or no longer meet code
-You’re remodeling, upgrading, or adding irrigation or fire protection lines
We install all major types of backflow prevention assemblies and ensure each is tested for proper function and registered with your local utility provider.
