Backflow Preventer Installation in St. Charles & St. Louis Counties
When people turn on their home’s faucets and showers, they expect to get fresh water for drinking, cleaning, or bathing. Unfortunately, that’s not what always happens. Experts estimate that over 30 million cases of waterborne diseases occur in the U.S. annually. Most of these diseases are caused by water contamination, and one way that occurs in the home is through what’s called “backflow.”
What is backflow? Your home’s water supply lines carry drinking water into your home. Drain and sewer pipes carry wastewater away from the house. If wastewater makes its way back the way it came (or backflows), it can contaminate your fresh water supply.
Backflow preventers have one job: to ensure that water flows in one direction, away from your home. For over 40 years, Faszold Heating & Cooling has provided plumbing solutions to homeowners in St. Charles and St. Louis counties, including backflow preventer installation, so you can count on us to keep your water supply clean and safe.

Benefits of Installing a Residential Backflow Preventer
A backflow preventer is not something most people think about, but it takes only one contamination incident to understand why it’s essential to have one installed at your home. An economical way to keep your water supply protected, a backflow preventer offers significant benefits, including:
- Consistently safe drinking water for you and your family.
- Avoiding expensive sewer and water system repairs.
- Keeping pollutants like bacteria, organic waste, pesticides, fertilizers, and chlorine out of your fresh water.
Though backflow preventers are standard in commercial settings, homes also benefit from having one installed. Aside from the obvious health benefits, they can also prevent your pipes from being damaged by foreign materials.
