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.

It’s Hot and Dry out Here.

Sure, you can escape the heat this summer, but your lawn can’t.  That means your sprinkler system had better be ready to face the challenges of a hot, humid Columbus area summer of ’18.  When was your sprinkler system last checked or replaced?  Well, the components may have a shelf-life of a dozen years or more, but quality always plays a roll.

Here are some of the warning signs that your sprinkler system is on its last leg –

1.  The sprinkler heads are worn out.

2.  They have become clogged with debris.

3.  Check the valves on the backflow device.

4.  Pipes have been crushed by roots.

It’s going to be a hot time in the old town this summer!  Your sprinkler system needs to be in top condition.  This is a great time to call Columbus area plumber and troubleshooter Brent Staats.  Brent and his crew at Staats Plumbing are noted area backflow experts.  Keep this phone number handy (740) 625-5284.

Here are, hopefully some helpful hints –

3.  When there is a jam.

At the first sign of a disposal malfunction, it is likely that complete failure is not far behind.  It may be the right time to call Columbus Ohio’s garbage disposal repair and replacement experts.  That’s Staats Plumbing.  For any plumbing need in and around the capital pick up the phone and call Staats at (740) 625-5284.
