Backflow…Discuss.

These days you can know as much as you care to about a subject by “googling” it.  So, google the word backflow and look at the explanation on the Wikipedia page.  It simply says…backflow is a term in plumbing for an unwanted flow of water in the reverse direction.  That could be enough information for some, but if you wish, read on.

It can be a serious health risk for the contamination of potable water supplies with foul water.  Backflow occurs for one of two reasons, either back pressure or back siphonage. 
What is this back siphonage thing?  It is defined as the result of supply pressure being lowered below that of the system.

Knowing what backflow is helps some.  Knowing how to deal with it or better yet, prevent it is much more important!  Brent Staats knows backflow like he knows his ABC’s.  He is one of the Columbus Ohio areas experts in backflow testing.  Do not let backflow on your property disrupt your life.  Call Brent at Staats Plumbing (740) 625-5284.
