What is Backsiphonage?

No, it’s not something you get when you drink bad water or eat contaminated food.  Backsiphonage is the reversal of normal flow in a system which is caused by a negative pressure (vacuum or partial vacuum) in your home’s piping.  What causes it?  It can be created when there is a stoppage of the water supply.
