Question Answers
How does a plumbing inspection help with backflow prevention in my Smyrna home?
A thorough plumbing inspection is the first step in effective backflow prevention. Our certified technicians check for cross-connections where contaminated water could flow back into your clean supply. This includes inspecting outdoor hose bibbs, irrigation systems, and internal plumbing fixtures. Identifying and correcting these potential hazards during an inspection is crucial for compliance with local Smyrna and state regulations and for ensuring your family's water safety.
My outdoor faucet is corroded. Could this be a backflow risk, and can you fix it?
Yes, absolutely. Corroded outdoor faucets are a common issue in Smyrna and a significant backflow risk. Corrosion can prevent the internal check valves from sealing properly, allowing contaminated water from hoses or the ground to siphon back into your home's drinking water. We handle this by providing plumbing repair or replacement of the faulty faucet with a model that includes built-in backflow protection, ensuring both functionality and compliance with safety standards.
What is involved in your backflow testing program management for property managers?
Our program management provides a complete solution for compliance. We handle scheduling and performing the annual required tests on all backflow prevention assemblies across your properties. If a device fails, our technicians perform the necessary plumbing repair or replacement on-site. We then compile all test reports and documentation, submitting them directly to the water utility on your behalf. This service ensures your portfolio remains compliant with Smyrna and Delaware regulations without you managing the details.
