Backflow…Cold vs. Warm.

Backflow devices are found all over the United States to protect our drinking water from contamination.  Everywhere from sunny Florida to frozen Minnesota and right here in Columbus Ohio there are backflow problems.  There are differences in backflow prevention between warmer and chillier climates that enjoy all four seasons.

One constant is that annual inspections of assemblies and administering programs occur nationwide, no matter the annual rainfall or average temperature.  In cold weather though, assemblies and their meters must be protected against freezing.  More damage can be done in cold climates than warm…it’s that simple!

This time of year, wind, snow, and freezing temperatures can (and will) take their toll on access doors and equipment.  There always is a perfect solution in Columbus and the surrounding area.  It’s Staats Plumbing.  That is whom you call for any and all inspections, repairs, and replacements of equipment.  Give Brent a call today at (740) 625-5284.
