Many take their building's plumbing systems for granted... until something happens...


Free flowing water makes our lives cleaner, easier, safer, and more comfortable. It's a commodity we often take for granted... until something goes wrong. Anyone who has experienced the disturbing ordeal of a backed up toilet or sink, a flooded office space, or leaky pipes knows firsthand the damage and dread they can cause.

Plumbing problems can be a major disturbance to a work day causing delays and affecting productivity. You need a plumber who can respond quickly and fix the problem right the first time. You need a plumber with experience.

So how do you choose a qualified plumber?
  • Ask a friend, neighbor or work associate for a recommendation.
  • Ask how long a company has been in business.
  • Ask if background checks and drug testing are completed on all employees.
  • Ask if the company is a member in good standing with the local Better Business Bureau.
  • Ask for the name of the technician coming to your office. When the plumber arrives, note where he/she parks, how the service vehicle looks and how the plumber approaches your home. If you are not comfortable, do not let the person in and notify the company immediately.
  • Get a detailed description of the work that needs to be done.
  • If you don't understand the project, have the technician draw a picture if possible.
  • Make sure that all work materials are fully warranted for a reasonable amount of time. The longer the better.
  • Ask the technician how to identify and avoid anything that could be a future complication.
  • Once work is completed, the technician should clean the work area and return things to its original condition

A reduced pressure (RP) backflow prevention device is a device used to protect the potable water supply from contaminated water. An RP valve consists of an automatic pressure relief valve in between two check valves. The pressure relief valve opens to the atmosphere in the event of a reduction in the pressure differential between the first two chambers of the device.

The assembly is considered to provide redundant means of protection because: (1) check valves keep water flowing in one direction only, and; (2) the relief valve will operate in the event the supply pressure drops below atmospheric pressure.[1]

Reduced pressure backflow preventers can be abbreviated RP, RPP (Reduced Pressure Principle) and RPZ (Reduced Pressure Zone). RP assemblies protect against backsiphonage and backpressure, and may be used where a potential hazard exists. RP valves can be found in commercial buildings, hospitals, and industrial applications.
