Plumbing Term of the Day: "Backflow"

Backflow occurs when the flow of water in a plumbing system reverses direction, potentially allowing contaminated water to enter the clean water supply. To prevent backflow, backflow preventers are installed in plumbing systems, ensuring that water only flows in one direction. Understanding backflow helps safeguard your home's water quality and safety.

April Showers had us thinking about… Sump Pumps! 🌧️

Do you know what a sump pump is? Or how it functions?

A sump pump is a device installed in the lowest part of a basement or crawlspace to prevent flooding by pumping out excess water. When groundwater levels rise, the sump pump activates, directing water away from the home's foundation and preventing water damage. Sump pumps are crucial for maintaining a dry and secure basement, especially in areas prone to heavy rainfall or high water tables.

Is your sump pump functioning properly? Is it time for a new sump pump? Give our plumbing team a call today!
