You know that not just anyone can test your Chicago area home for backflow problems. It begins with 40 hours of classroom time…book learnin’! Next, it becomes about paying for the privilege. To become a certified backflow tester you must pay several hundred dollars. Oh, and don’t forget the additional licensing when you are done.
On top of all that, a plumber needs to invest in what is known as a testing gage. That too, will set the plumber back several hundred dollars. He is not done yet. Every two years a licensed backflow technician must be re-certified. At that point, another eight hours or so must be spent in the classroom or online.
Then comes experience. You need to be sure that the plumber who enters your home is an experienced backflow technician. If you live in The Fox Valley and far western suburbs of Chicagoland the right man for the job is Scott Swanson of Bee Plumbing.
