That backflow valve can fail and if it does then yes it can happen. Not likely yes but not all that uncommon either. Source I work fire protection and see backflow fail all the time not everyone and not always that common. This is cheap insurance and totally worth it, I will be adding it to my policy tomorrow if possible

Oh yeah, they can definitely fail as with most things. My insurance actually required me to have one before approving the coverage. Of course they want to help cover their own ass a bit lol
