Backflow Hazards From Funeral Homes


A funeral home experiencing backflow problems can contaminate a community's potable water supply. Human blood, bodily fluids and embalming chemicals are rinsed down a funeral home's drain. If the facility's pipes are experiencing backflow or other cross-connection problems, these contaminants can make their way to the clean water distribution system that supplies potable water to homes and businesses. The contaminated water enters the potable water supply and is then redistributed back to water utility customers. Communities have experienced deadly typhoid and cholera epidemics in the past because of contamination from funeral home backflow and other toxic sources. Although plumbing safety and techniques have advanced, the risk still exists.
