What Constitutes a Backflow Test.

First of all, how often do you need to test your backflow device.  It is always recommended to be done every year.  Have you been faithful about that?  Many of us are not!  How long should it take?  When it is done by a true professional the job should entail less than a half hour for each device.  Set up will take a bit longer.

What if I fail the test…will I be without water for a period of time?  Unless all else fails, the short answer is NO.  In the majority of cases, we can take the backflow device apart and clean some of the internal parts, re-test and get the device to pass.  This is the important part of the entire equation.

At Staats Plumbing we take great pride in our ability to make all of the necessary repairs so that your device will get a passing grade.  That is why we are known as one of the true backflow repair experts in the Columbus area.  Your system needs to be checked annually.  Have it done right the first time by calling Staats Plumbing at (740) 625-5284.
