Pressure Regulators Installation Backflow Testing and Repair
Add a pressure regulator to your home or office and decrease stress on all your water lines. Our valley is growing at a rapid rate, adding many new homes and businesses each year. In order to keep up with demand, your city’s water department has had to both add water mains and increase the water pressure. This increased pressure adds stress on you home’s water piping and fixture supply lines. Adding a pressure regulator on your main water service will regulate the pressure to your home. This will help prevent a broken water line that could possibly cause flooding.
Backflow devices and vacuum breakers guard against water contamination. We staff city certified backflow prevention testers to assist you if you need backflow assemblies installed or tested on your domestic water or irrigation system. Backflow assemblies are used to stop the reversed flow of contaminated water mixtures back into the drinking water supply. For our commercial plumbing customers, we offer a full line of backflow prevention assemblies and parts to meet your immediate needs.
