Why Benton Properties Need Professional Backflow Testing

Properties across Benton sit on Saline County clay-heavy soil with mineral deposits from historic bauxite mining. Ground movement from this soil type puts stress on water service lines and the backflow assemblies installed near property meters. Older homes near Gann Museum and the Hurricane Creek corridor are especially prone to backflow valve failure due to aging copper and galvanized connections that develop micro-leaks over time.
