Common Plumbing Inquiries

Clear, practical answers regarding diagnostic inspections, private lateral responsibilities, and Louisiana plumbing considerations.

Backflow occurs when hydraulic pressure reversals (back-siphonage or backpressure) draw contaminated water from irrigation, commercial boilers, or chemical tanks backwards into the municipal potable drinking water supply.

Commercial businesses, restaurants, multi-family housing with dedicated fire sprinkler lines, and properties with in-ground lawn irrigation systems connected to the City of Hammond water distribution network are required to have approved backflow assemblies inspected annually.

A certified backflow tester connects calibrated differential pressure gauges to test cocks on the assembly (such as an RPZ or Double Check valve) to verify that internal springs, check valves, and relief ports open and seal at exact pressure thresholds.
