Backflow Testing and Prevention

Backflow testing is essential for ensuring the safety and quality of our drinking water. Backflow occurs when contaminated water flows back into the main water supply, potentially causing health hazards and water quality issues. Because of the crucial nature of this, it is essential to have testing done by a professional.

Additionally, getting ahead of any problems can ensure you are keeping your waters safe through any hazardous event. Having a backflow preventer in place keeps hazardous water from reentering your plumbing system and causing seriously unhygienic problems.

Sump Pumps

Sump Pumps operate by collecting water that accumulates in a designated sump pit, often due to rainwater, melting snow, or groundwater infiltration. When the water level reaches a certain point, the sump pump activates, pumping the water out and away from your home’s foundation. This process helps prevent the basement or crawl space from water damage, reducing the risk of structural damage, mold growth, and costly repairs.

With the unpredictability of weather, you should ensure your home is safe even during a major storm. A battery backup sump pump can provide this protection. This device reduces your risk giving you more confidence that you are prepared when a potential flooding disaster strikes.

Water Lines

All water entering your plumbing system does so through the water line, the pipe that extends from the city water main to your home. This is the single most important plumbing pipe in the system, so it’s a good idea to make sure that it stays in the best possible condition. If the water line isn’t healthy, your entire plumbing system isn’t healthy. At Lutz Plumbing, we offer installation, repair, and replacement.

Signs You Need Water Line Repair:

Additionally, if an emergency were to occur, it is important that you have the proper precautions installed, such as automatic shut-off valves. These valves can stop water in its tracks, ensuring leaks don’t get worse and any water damage is stopped before it starts. Water can be extremely destructive. Get in front of it and schedule an installation.

Gas Lines

There are many reasons to consider using natural gas in order to supply your heater, oven, and other appliances with the fuel that they need to operate successfully and reliably. However, gas lines can have leaks and other issues that can cause trouble for your home and its occupants. It’s essential to keep up with maintenance and services to keep your home safe.
