Please think twice before removing
A working backflow device preserves your home equity. Future buyers, inspectors, and insurers see the device as a plus. Removing it to skip a $110 annual test can cost far more at resale.
Water driven sump pumps
In Webster and other Monroe County neighborhoods, the backflow device often serves a water driven sump pump. Removing the device requires replacing that pump. If the power goes out, your basement floods. We will walk through this carefully before any removal work.
When removal makes sense
If your irrigation system was permanently disconnected or the fixture that required the device is gone, removal can be appropriate. We only remove when the code and the situation truly call for it.
