The Hows and Whys of Backflow Prevention.

It is pretty simple really, water that flows into your Fox Valley area home should properly flow in only one direction. The clean water enters, and the dirty water exits. Usually, that’s exactly how it works. Sometimes though, the flow of water changes direction so the dirty water flows back toward the clean. That is when Bee Plumbing of Sandwich will fix your backflow problem.

It is important that you include in your household budget a regular backflow testing procedure done by a certified plumbing professional to make sure your first lines of defense against contaminated water are working properly. Backflow testing evaluates your plumbing system to see if backflow is occurring. Fortunately, the process is relatively fast and easy.

The best news is that professional, guaranteed backflow testing in Sandwich, and much of DeKalb, Kendall, as well as much of Kane Counties is just a phone call away. It is done with the highest standards by Bee Plumbing. Make sure that backflow testing is done every year and visit their website at bee-plumbinginc.com for the phone number to call in your area.

How Long Does this Job Take, Anyway?

It is a viable question that you may be asking if you have a broken water pipe.

Generally speaking, there are some major factors that will determine the length of the job at hand.

What is the Difference Between an Ejector Pump and a Sump Pump?

We were just discussing this over dinner the other day…NOT! Just in case, you may have noticed that these two pumps look pretty much the same. The truth is, most of the time sump pump and ejector pumps are installed right next to each other. And yet you should not confuse the two because they do entirely very different jobs.

We hope that this is a simple explanation. A sump pump is useful for removing flood water from your basement or crawl spaces. Otherwise, it will just sit there in puddles until it finally evaporates. An ejector pump is also very important. Without one, you won’t be able to remove waste water from the basement to the septic tank or sewer.

And here we are…a company that services and replaces sump pumps and ejector pumps. We have been known throughout this century in the Fox Valley as Bee Plumbing. Why the word Bee? Well, ask us when you call the phone number listed on our website that best applies to your area in the central or southern Fox Valley. That address is bee-plumbinginc.com.

Can Sewer Lines Freeze?

These may be famous last words in the middle of another Chicagoland winter. As a Fox Valley area homeowner, you should be prepared to take the necessary and very important steps in preparing for the harsh winter months still to come.

The most common causes of freezing sewer lines are –

1.  Poor insulation around your home’s pipes

2.  The temperature suddenly drops precipitously overnight

3.  Water flow is limited or restricted
