Lets talk Backflow Preventor Devices!

A backflow prevention device is a product that ensures water can only flow in one direction. There are multiple types of backflow prevention devices, and they all work best in specific applications. All backflow preventers, no matter the type, protect clean water lines from wastewater contaminates.

Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) requires all public water systems to maintain a cross-connection control program that protects the distribution system delivering drinking water to your home or business. Some cities here in Texas have started requiring their residents to have their home backflows inspected/tested annually. Most businesses, too, have backflow devices that the state does require annual testing. There are many different backflow devices. There are domestic, irrigation and fireline backflows just to name a few. These devices can be found in the ground, riser room, pump rooms, on carbonators, and vaults.

Service Fire Industrial can take care of all your backflow needs from installation, repairs and inspections. Feel free to contact us with any questions or to schedule an inspection.

Happy Friday! Is everyone dry and safe from all this crazy Texas weather?

Warmer weather is here and the firework season has begun! Service Fire wanted to remind everyone to be safe! Fireworks cause thousands of injuries and fires every year.

**Just some WOW Facts**
-More than 19,500 reported fires are started by fireworks annually.
-Burns account for 44% of the 9,100 injuries treated in the ER around the July 4th holiday.
-Half of the firework injuries seen at the ER were extremities: hand, finger or leg. 1/3 were the eye or other parts of the head.
-Children ages 10-14 had the highest rate of fireworks injury with more than 1/3 of the victims of firework injuries under the age of 15.
-Sparklers account roughly 1/4 of ER firework injuries! (Sparklers can reach 1200 degrees F!! WOW!)

Have fun this summer but be safe!
