Protect Your Hillsborough County Home from Contaminated Water
Like performing regular plumbing maintenance such as checking your drains or keeping an eye on your water heater, our professional plumbers at Johnny Doan Plumbing can help you prevent disaster another way – with backflow prevention in Central Florida.
The Importance of Backflow Prevention for Your Health
Backflow prevention keeps polluted water, or backflow, out of your water distribution system. This preventative step helps to maintain the health and safety of the water flowing from your faucets. Due to pressure changes in your pipes, the water that should be flowing out of your home can change course and seep back into your main water supply line.
Common Contaminants in Backflow Water:
Fertilizers
Pesticides
Human waste
Chlorine from pools or spas
Soap from sinks, dishwashers, or showers
How to Identify Potential Backflow Issues
Prevent problems before they occur by watching for these warning signs:
Discolored or foul-smelling water: Indicates contamination.
Low water pressure: A possible sign of backflow in your system.
Unusual water taste: Could be caused by foreign substances entering your water supply.
Unexplained puddles near water connections: May point to leaks or improper flow direction.
If you notice any of these issues, contact Johnny Doan Plumbing immediately for a professional evaluation.
Benefits of Regular Backflow Testing
Routine backflow inspections by certified professionals ensure your water supply remains safe and your system complies with local regulations. Key advantages include:
Improved water quality: Keeps contaminants out of your drinking water.
System efficiency: Ensures smooth operation and prevents costly repairs.
Regulatory compliance: Meets local building and plumbing codes.
Peace of mind: Protects your family’s health and safety.
Johnny Doan Plumbing offers thorough backflow testing and maintenance services tailored to your needs.
Is a Backflow Prevention System Necessary for Your Home?
Fortunately, backflow can be prevented with a device that acts as a one-way gate, only allowing water to flow in one direction. If you get your home’s water from a well, you are required to install a backflow preventer at the water meter because both systems are at risk of contamination.
Newer homes may already have built-in backflow preventers installed on certain water lines, but it’s best to ensure your water’s safety by having a professional Central Florida backflow prevention plumber inspect your water systems. Johnny Doan Plumbing will determine if your system is properly set up or if there’s additional work to be done.
If backflow becomes a problem in your home, contact Johnny Doan Plumbing right away, day or night. We understand how quickly plumbing issues can become lasting and dangerous problems. Don’t wait until it’s too late.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a backflow inspection?
A backflow inspection involves assessing your plumbing system to ensure that contaminated water cannot flow back into your clean water supply. During the inspection, a certified plumber examines the backflow prevention device for functionality and compliance with local regulations.
How often do you need backflow testing?
In Central Florida, backflow testing is typically required annually, depending on local codes. Regular testing ensures your system is functioning correctly and prevents contaminants from entering your water supply.
How do you service a backflow valve?
Servicing a backflow valve includes cleaning the internal components, replacing damaged parts, and testing for proper operation. Professional plumbers use specialized tools and knowledge to maintain your valve and ensure it meets regulatory standards.

"Hands down the best plumber in town"
I've had problems as long as I've lived in this house - I've made calls no less than 3 times this year for backups with my plumbing and it turns out a tree root took out my plumbing and the guys from Johnny Doan Plumbing were finally able to find the problem and resolve it. I've had 3 other plumbers out here for this same problem - and none of them were able to fix it properly, so every other month, when I flushed the toilet, it would back up - and never knew why it kept happening. Glad to know there are pros that know what they are doing - hands down the best plumber in town.

"The most professional plumber that I have dealt with"
My water heater wasn’t producing enough hot water. I was considering getting a tankless electrical water heater.
They came out and examined my heater. He determined that it had been installed incorrectly. I thought I needed a new heater but I didn’t. It was a very simple fix and he saved me a lot of headache and money. This is the most professional plumber that I have dealt with and I highly recommend this company.

"High level of knowledge in plumbing"
We had our kitchen remodeled by Home Depot and they subcontracted to Johnny Doan Plumbing and they did such a good job with the plumbing work that we called them back to provide a quote on several plumbing projects around our 1979 built house. When the guy came out to review the work to be performed, he was very professional and quickly provided a fair estimate on the same day. The guys that came out to do the work called ahead to let us know they were coming and they were both professional and courteous. The work they performed was high quality and showed their high level of knowledge in plumbing. I have to call out Tucker, Austin, and Kyle for the great work they did for us. I would highly recommend Johnny Doan Plumbing.

"He truly cares about his work and his customers"
Jimmy came out to check out my water heater. He explained everything very thoroughly and clearly so that I could understand. This is a very professional company. They sent a professional to come and fix my issue for a very good price. The other companies didn’t even know what the issue was. I had spoken to 4 other plumbers before him and I highly recommend working with Johnny Doan Plumbing. He truly cares about his work and his customers.

"I had a lot of work for them to do and they did it all perfectly"
These guys did a great job. I had a lot of work for them to do and they did it all perfectly. They cleaned up all their debris and trash and took it away, too. Will definitely hire them again.
