It’s Gonna Get Wet Around Here.

Those who have lived in Columbus, OH over many seasons know that summertime is the wettest time of the year.  Here is a tip for area homeowners…a battery-powered back-up sump pump is no match to the benefits of using a water-powered back-up sump pump, especially during prolonged periods of rain and flooding.

Your home’s sump pump is your first line of defense against encroaching water.  Because your main sump pump is usually powered by electricity, when the power goes out, the pump stops removing water from your home.  And that is why it’s smart to install a back-up sump pump. Simply put, the better choice for a back-up sump pump is a water-powered sump pump.

Call us and allow us to explain why that is the case.  We are Staats Plumbing.  I’m Brent Staats.  Let me apply my decades of experience to make sure this summer (and many to come) is a dry one in your Columbus area basement.  Why a water-powered sump pump back-up system?  You’ll know why after calling Staats Plumbing at (740) 625-5284.

Amateurs Trying to be Professionals.

Come on, you’re at least a little bit guilty.  Most Americans think that they are mechanics, accountants, plumbers, etc.  Most of the time the best advice is leave it to the pros!  Almost every homeowner or renter has a few essential tools on hand to cope with minor plumbing emergencies such as a clogged toilet or slow drain.

May we suggest a regular plumbing inspection by a pro?  Here are some steps we might perform-

1.  Drain treatment to keep them flowing smoothly.
2.  Cleaning garbage disposals and perhaps water heaters.
3.  Pressure tests to check for hairline leaks.
4.  Water pressure adjustment as needed.
