What Is the Law Regarding Backflow Testing in Mason, OH?

By federal law, it is required that all backflow devices be tested annually. This must be performed by a certified backflow tester. If these devices are not tested, your water will be shut off by the local governing authorities. All devices have a serial number that allow for record-keeping. All testing and repair costs are to be met by the consumer.

Why Is Testing Important?

It is important to test backflow devices to make sure they are performing the necessary job of preventing herbicides, chemicals, and waste products from entering your drinking water. The entire community relies on the proper chemical makeup of the water coming from the treatment plant.

Though some homeowners find this task to be too much, the safety of your drinking water relies on the proper function of these devices. If any of these chemicals are ingested, they can cause serious illness and even death.

What Is the Testing Process?

The testing process of backflow prevention devices is quite detailed, but the general process can be explained fairly easily. The tester turns off the shutoff valve and checks all of the test cocks for proper function and flow. Then, a test kit is inserted at various valves and cocks. The tester then takes a reading of each check valve. Pressure gauges are used for differential pressure readings. Leaks and other problems are detected when readings are extreme.

What Is Backflow?

Backflow occurs when water flows in the opposite direction than intended in a plumbing or irrigation system. A backflow preventer keeps the drinking water safe by keeping chemicals and waste from entering the water supply.

If it is time for your annual backflow testing, call Nixco Plumbing Inc. to set up an appointment. We can also answer any additional questions you may have about backflow and the importance of testing. Do your part to keep our community healthy through prompt testing as required.

If you are ever concerned that your backflow devices may have leaks, we can also perform additional testing. The great part is that we can fix any problems that we find, whereas other certified backflow testers do not provide solutions to common problems. We have the experience and training to perform an accurate backflow test.

Are you in need of backflow testing and certification? Call (513) 457-0915 to schedule an appointment with our experts today.

I had a great experience with NixCo, and Shawn was outstanding. He was professional, courteous, and knowledgeable. He arrived on time, explained everything in a way that was easy to understand, and completed the work efficiently with great attention to detail. It's refreshing to work with someone who takes pride in their job and genuinely cares about providing excellent service. Thanks to Shawn, the whole process was smooth and stress-free. I highly recommend NixCo and especially Shawn for anyone looking for reliable, high-quality plumbing service.

Had an issue with an outdoor faucet and a toilet that would not fill. Todd and Paddy arrived during the scheduled time window, assessed the issues and provided me with options on how to fix them. They took time to answer any questions, finished the jobs in a timely matter and cleaned up afterwards. Second experience with the company and no complaints.

I had a great experience with Mark Gossler at Neyer/Nixco Plumbing. My mother's hot water heater was leaking from a spot that the technician said was not usual. Instead of just replacing the part that was leaking, he spot checked multiple places around the house to find what was causing the leak and was able to fix all issues that day.

We recently required emergency services and called Nixco on a Sunday afternoon. Our technician Jared McCall arrived shortly thereafter. He quickly began accessing the issue using a camera and determined the issue must be outside the house. He located the sewer cleanout and using his auger and camera found we had root intrusion in our pipe. He was able open the clog but determined he needed to return the next morning with more powerful equipment to fully break through the roots, which was completed in about 90 minutes. We were completely satisfied with Nixco and Jared’s professionalism. We will continue to use Nixco for future plumbing services.

Jared McCall diagnosed our whistling sound while water was running as a pressure valve issue and replaced the part eliminating the annoying noise. Shawn Crank did an excellent job of diagnosing and addressing our sump pump issues. We had another plumbing company out to address the problem and the issue recurred 8 days later after they supposedly resolved the concern. Now the problem is actually solved. NIxco's excavation team replaced our sump pump drainage discharge line that had become reconnected from the main storm sewer line running along the streeet. Nathan Floyd did a great job diagnosing our low water pressure issue and he and Kyle did an expert job of replacing our water softener. Kyle Cox and Owen fixed our leaking primary bath faucet. They had the parts on their truck and were able to repair the faucet quickly.

Our new homeowner’s insurance is requiring one of those leak detector/whole house shutoff devices. Called these guys for a second estimate as I thought the first one was high. Not only was their estimate about 20% less for the same device, the plumber (Mason) said I can actually do it right now if you want. This was great as I already had blocked a half day off just for the estimate. He did a great on the work, made sure everything was cleaned up well, and walked me through the app setup. I will definitely use them again and request Mason.
