Repair or Replace…That is NOT the Question.

Let’s make something clear immediately.  If a gas line is faulty it needs to be replaced NOT repaired!  The cost of said will be determined by the cost of labor and materials.  There’s a lot in common in the piping for a plumbing system and the piping that carries natural gas.  That is why you hire a plumber to do the replacement.

Here is the bottom line… The majority of natural gas piping is made from copper because of its corrosion resistance and light weight. Plumbers use plastic pipes for some specific uses, such as flexible piping for small areas and narrow gas lines. A well-trained plumber knows that it’s vital to make sure gas piping gets the same attention as other types of piping.  You can’t afford a leak!

So, the solution is simple.  Pick up your phone and call plumbing and gas piping replacement expert Brent Staats.  Staats Plumbing has been replacing Columbus Ohio area gas pipes for many years and you can take comfort in knowing that the job will be done safely, promptly, and efficiently.  Call Brent at (740) 625-5284.

What is a Backflow Preventer?

It sounds like something every Columbus area homeowner or landlord should get to know.  A backflow preventer is a device that’s installed on your home’s water pipes and allows water to flow in one direction but never in the opposite direction.  That sounds good.  It’s just like driving a car, you don’t want to be going in the wrong direction!

IF drinking water flows in the wrong direction it will become polluted.  So, how does backflow happen in the first place?  I can happen if there is a break in the main water line.  It even could happen if a fire hydrant has been opened.  And that my friends, is where a backflow prevention system comes in handy.

A backflow prevention system is a series of devices installed onto a pipe that allows the water to flow ONLY in one direction.  To have the system installed quickly, perfectly, and guaranteed you call on the backflow professionals in the Columbus Ohio area.  That’s Staats Plumbing.  Just call Brent and the job is as good as done.  That number is (740) 625-5284.
