Testing for Backflow.

Learning how to test a backflow preventer is important because there are over 10,000 reported cases of backflow contamination each year in America! Some of them are even fatal!  Backflow prevention devices are required by law and must be installed.  A typical backflow assembly has test cocks and shut-off valves and must be checked yearly.

Some of the steps your plumber will use in testing for backflow are –

1.  Shut off the water supply and cease using water in the house while it is off.

2.  Investigate the direction of the water flow.

3.  Gather the amount of test cocks and bushings that they will need.

4.  Turn on the water and run a few taps simultaneously.

Testing for backflow in the Columbus area is an absolute annual necessity for home and business owners!  Knowing that, you should call Columbus’ professional backflow tester Brent Staats.  He, or a member of his team will come out and do the job…guaranteed.  He can also troubleshoot other plumbing problems if need be.  Just call (740) 625-5284.

How to Detect and Repair a Slab Leak.

What exactly is a slab leak?  A slab leak is a break in a pipe that runs beneath the concrete down in the foundation of your home. So, when the pipe breaks, water seeps into the ground and then into your home’s foundation.  Slab leaks can occur in either water or sewer lines.  Unfortunately, they can result in costly damage!

Early detection is vitally important.  To catch this problem at the onset, homeowners with concrete foundations must know what warning signs are indicative of this type of leak such as running water…where is the sound coming from?  A high water bill…that will get your attention!  Mysterious warm or wet spots on your floor.

There is no question about it…slab leaks and drain leaks in general can be disastrous for your home.  When you sense the signs of a leaking slabs or drains beneath your foundation immediately call the drain cleaning and repair experts at Staats Plumbing.  In the Columbus area, the answer to your plumbing problems is Staats Plumbing at (740) 625-5284.

Cash, Check, or Credit Card

You have dealt with hundreds if not thousands of businesses over the years.  When you hear “we only take cash” run for the hills in most cases, especially if the person telling you that has just fixed your plumbing.  A good, reliable plumber is about as important as a great auto mechanic, or even a reliable doctor.

So often, we go for price rather than quality.  You have done it in the grocery store, maybe with your medications, or at a restaurant.  One place where that may be a huge mistake is with plumbing!  Is the work guaranteed?  Will you be able to easily get that plumber to return to your home if there is a problem?

I am Brent Staats, the owner of Staats Plumbing.  Yes, we cheerfully accept cash, check, Visa, or Master Card.  We do that to make payment as flexible as possible.  We won’t be going anywhere.  My family and my workers are proud residents of the Columbus Ohio area.  By the way, our Blue Jackets may need a goalie if you have any ideas!  Call us at (740) 625-5284.
