Backflow Preventer Testing in Skowhegan

Backflow preventers protect the drinking water supply from contamination, and many water providers call for annual testing for irrigation and commercial devices.

We also check that devices are protected from heat and freezing where needed. Keeping up with testing avoids fines and water shutoffs.

Leak Detection and Slab Leak Checks in Skowhegan

Older farmhouses and capes often have a mix of copper, galvanized, and plastic plumbing from many decades of repairs. Soil movement and hard water can wear buried or under-slab water lines until they leak. We check your water meter for hidden flow, test fixture valves and use acoustic and thermal tools to find leaks. Warm spots on floors, a running meter and unexplained high water bills are typical signs. Finding a leak early prevents slab damage and mold.
