Protect Your Water. Protect Your Home.
At JVS Plumbing, we specialize in RPZ (Reduced Pressure Zone) and backflow testing to ensure your water supply is safe and compliant with Illinois regulations. Backflow prevention devices stop contaminated water from flowing back into your clean water supply — a vital protection for your home or business.
What Is Backflow?
Backflow occurs when water flows in the wrong direction due to a change in pressure, which can allow contaminants like fertilizers, pesticides, or sewage to enter your drinking water. Backflow prevention devices are required by law and must be tested annually.
What Is an RPZ Valve?
An RPZ valve is a type of backflow preventer required by many municipalities for irrigation systems, fire sprinklers, and commercial properties. It’s designed to protect your water from dangerous contamination caused by backpressure or backsiphonage.
