When it comes to backflow, you can trust Lenox Plumbing. Our ASSE certified plumbers will test your home or commercial spaceโs backflow for cleanliness, as well as make any needed repairs to ensure that your water is safe.
Depending on your home or commercial buildingโs elevation, location, etc., it can be susceptible to backflow, the process in which the water in your main water supply line flows backwards or in a reverse direction towards your space. Backflow is dangerous, and even regulated by municipal governments, because it can cause waste water to re-enter your home or buildingโs water supply. This problem is commonly solved by a backflow preventer, a valve that is installed onto pipes that only allows water to flow in one direction and not the other.
If our plumbers find any issues with your backflow during the testing process, donโt worry. We will assess the situation, and make any needed repairs to your backflow preventer or main water and sewer lines. We are also able to replace or install a new backflow preventer when needed.
Because backflow prevention is so crucial to health and safety, it is required that plumbers are certified through the American Society of Sanitary Engineering (ASSE) in their their given state in order to be properly trained and allowed to test backflow. At Lenox, our plumbers are ASSE certified in the state of Michigan, and experienced in all things related to backflow testing. We provide backflow testing services for homeowners, business owners and properly owners alike. Call us today to schedule your annual backflow testing services.
