Wasted Water.

The conservationists would have a cow.  Don’t waste a precious resource.  Have you ever thought about how much water is wasted when your toilet is running?  The average leaky toilet can waste about 200 gallons of water per day. That's over 6,000 gallons a month all from just one leaking toilet!

And, what is the most common cause of a higher water bill?  It’s a leaky toilet or toilets in your home, of course.  It is a problem that must be immediately addressed, or your water bill could actually double.  Sometimes a leaky toilet is easy to fix.  You can just lift up the float arm and bend or adjust it to stop the running.

On many other occasions a toilet repair professional is the best answer.  The last thing in the world you want to do is aggravate the problem!  A plumber like Brent Staats of Staats Plumbing is always a good call.  He is a Columbus, Ohio plumbing pro who will come to your rescue as quickly as possible.  Give him a call at (740) 625-5284.

Broken Sump Pump = Flooding.

This is NOT an equation you want to face…ever!  If you are a homeowner in the Columbus area you may know a lot about sump pumps.  For years, sump pumps have been pretty common fixtures in Central Ohio homes.  The US Federal Clean Water Act assured that in 1987 when they required certain homes to have a sump pump.

So, what are some of the things that cause a sump pump failure?

1.  A very simple electrical power failure, which, of course can happen during a storm.

2.  You have an incorrectly installed pump.

3.  The size is wrong for your particular needs.

4.  Often, it is merely a problem with the switch.

5.  Improper maintenance…many of us are guilty of that.

What is Backflow Testing?

You don’t get a warning notice taped to your front door.  If the pressure in your home’s water system isn't maintained, the risk for water flowing backward into the water system and becoming contaminated is greatly increased.  Backflow testing monitors the health and safety mechanisms that are designed specifically to protect the purity of the water.

What is the function of a backflow prevention device?  Well, it keeps dirty water from pools, storm drains and other external water sources from flowing backward into clean, uncontaminated water or into your home.  With summer on its way to the Columbus area, wouldn’t it be prudent to have it checked for efficiency?

Most cities and counties in the United States recommend and even require yearly testing by a certified backflow testing expert.  Would you like to know one of the best backflow testing plumbers in the entire Columbus area?  He is Brent Staats and his team from Staats Plumbing.  It takes one call to have your system checked (740) 625-5284.
