Preventing Backflow into Your Home or Business.

Backflow occurs when water that has already entered a facility flows back into the public water system.  A cross-connection is a point in a plumbing system where drinking water becomes directly connected to water that is unfit for drinking. 

There are two causes of backflow.  One is called backsiphonage, while the other is back pressure.  Backsiphonage is the reverse flow of water due to negative pressure.  This occurs when water mains experience a sudden drop in pressure.  Back pressure may occur when a heating system or elevated tank creates a bulge in your plumbing that exceeds water pressure.

If a backflow situation ever rears its ugly head, you have a friend in Charlotte, NC that can handle the problem efficiently and inexpensively.  Trust the professionals at RepairingAmerica.com.  They are on call 24/7 to help you solve that backflow nightmare.  Keep their number handy for all home or commercial plumbing problems in the Charlotte area (704) 532-5653.

A New Year’s Resolution for your Home.

Here is a New Year’s Resolution that is definitely worth keeping.  Perhaps you have spent most of the last month entertaining guests and along the way you have noticed things going on with the infrastructure of your home that you are not proud of.  Perhaps you have put off needed repairs until the first of the year.

Some examples might be worn out sinks and shower stalls.  Perhaps you or a guest has noticed that there is tile work that needs doing.  Windows and trim may need extra winter proofing at this time of year.  This is also a great time to fix up the inside of your garage when repairs to the outside of your home may be too challenging for the winter weather.
