Midland Fire & Backflow | Experienced Plumbing Company in Tacoma, WA

Our annual fire sprinkler testing follows NFPA standards and local Tacoma codes. We inspect all system components—including control valves, alarms, and sprinkler heads—for proper operation and signs of wear. Given my 15 years in fire service, I also assess for common local issues like mineral buildup that can affect performance. This proactive maintenance helps ensure your system will function correctly in an emergency and meets insurance and regulatory requirements.

Tacoma's seasonal temperature swings can stress pipes, leading to cracks or leaks. During inspections, I specifically check for weak points in exposed or poorly insulated piping, common in older homes. For repairs or installations, I use materials and techniques suited to our climate, such as proper insulation and flexible fittings, to reduce future freeze-thaw damage. This local-focused approach helps prevent costly emergencies and extends your plumbing system's lifespan.

Annual backflow testing is required by Tacoma Public Utilities to prevent contaminated water from flowing back into the public supply. I test your device to ensure it's functioning correctly, which protects both your property and the community's water quality. With experience from both private testing and firefighting, I can identify issues early and provide clear explanations or repairs if needed, keeping you compliant and safe.
