Backflow Testing…a Tutorial.

Here is a simple explanation…A backflow test is a procedure that tests the reliability of a backflow regulator, which is designed to keep water flowing in one single direction in a plumbing system.  That should be about as clear as the water that is flowing…right?  The point is, you don’t need to know how to do it, just whom to do it!

Seriously though, a faulty regulator can cause a potentially dangerous situation.  If fresh, drinkable water reverses direction it can become contaminated.  Suddenly you are back in the dark ages.  Backflow regulators are required in any building with an irrigation system, fire suppression system or large boiler.

Now the who comes into play.  Brent Staats and his team at Staats Plumbing are Columbus Ohio’s backflow testing professionals.  He will provide you with the date of testing AND even remind you when the one-year expiration date is coming up so you won’t let it lapse!  Enough said.  Call Staats Plumbing today at (740) 625-5284.
