Backflow prevention
in Little Rock, AR

You're installing a new irrigation system. This is the most common reason homeowners need backflow preventers. The city won't approve your irrigation system without one.

The city sent you a notice requiring installation or testing. Little Rock periodically surveys properties and sends notices to property owners who need backflow prevention devices or whose devices need testing.

You're opening or already run a business that uses water for processes. If your business uses water in any way other than basic drinking, cooking, and sanitation, you probably need backflow prevention. Restaurants, medical offices, car washes, beauty salons, and industrial facilities all typically require it.

You have a pool or hot tub with an auto-fill system. Automatic fill systems can create backflow situations and require prevention devices.

You're adding a fire sprinkler system. Fire protection systems need backflow prevention because the water sits in pipes and can become stagnant.

Your property has connections to wells, ponds, or other non-potable water sources. Any time your plumbing connects to water that isn't from the city's clean supply, you need backflow prevention.

You're doing commercial or multi-family construction. New commercial buildings and apartment complexes require backflow prevention as part of the plumbing plan.

Backflow prevention protects public health. Contaminated water flowing back into the city's water supply affects everyone connected to that system. Your backflow preventer keeps your water on your property where it belongs.

It keeps you in compliance with city regulations. Having a properly installed and tested backflow prevention device means you meet Little Rock's requirements. You won't get notices from the city or risk having your water shut off.

Prevention protects your own water quality. While backflow preventers mainly protect the public water supply, they also stop contaminated water from flowing back into your house if pressure changes happen on your property.

You avoid fines and penalties. The city can fine property owners who don't comply with backflow prevention requirements. Annual testing keeps you compliant and avoids those penalties.

Proper backflow prevention maintains your water service. If you don't meet requirements, the city can shut off your water until you install a device or get testing done. Nobody wants to deal with that.

It protects your business operations. For commercial properties, compliance with backflow regulations is part of operating legally. Health inspections and business licenses often require documentation of backflow prevention.

Let's talk about water heaters. Most people don't think about them until they stop working. But here in Arkansas, with our humid summers and cold winters, a working water heater isn't just about comfort. It's about your daily life functioning the way it should.

We install all types of water heaters in Little Rock and the surrounding areas. Whether you live in the Heights, West Little Rock, or out near Maumelle, we can get to you. Tank water heaters, tankless systems, gas or electric. We handle them all.

Here's what most people don't know: your water heater probably needs replacing before it completely dies. If your unit is over 10 years old, making weird noises, or taking longer to heat up water, you're on borrowed time. Many people wait until it fails completely, which usually means coming home to water damage or having no hot water for days while waiting for parts.

When we install a new water heater, we don't just swap the old one for a new one. We check your home's setup, talk about your hot water needs (big family? guests often? lots of laundry?), and help you pick the right size. A water heater that's too small means you run out of hot water. One that's too big wastes energy and money every month.

The Hillcrest neighborhood has a lot of older homes with original plumbing. The process for replacing water heaters usually takes about 3-4 hours. Newer homes in Chenal Valley or Maumelle sometimes need different setups, especially if they have specific builder requirements.

If you need a full replacement, a new water heater can usually be installed within 24-48 hours.

Some plumbing problems can wait until Monday morning. Others can't.

A toilet that won't stop overflowing? That's an emergency. A burst pipe spraying water everywhere? You need help now. A backed-up drain flooding your basement? That needs attention right away.

We handle emergency plumbing calls for Little Rock homeowners. We're not available 24/7, but we respond quickly during business hours and can often get to you same-day.

The thing about plumbing emergencies is they always happen at the worst time. Saturday night before you're hosting Sunday brunch. Right before you leave for vacation. Five minutes after you put your kids to bed.

When you call, we'll ask you some questions about what's happening. Sometimes we can walk you through a quick fix to stop the immediate problem until we can get there. Other times, you need to shut off your water right away to prevent damage.

If you've got water spraying everywhere, find your main water shut-off valve. In most Little Rock homes, it's near where the water line comes into your house, often in the basement or on an exterior wall. Turn it clockwise until it stops. That turns off all the water to your house and stops the flooding.

Nobody plans for their toilet to overflow or their drain to back up. But when it happens, you need someone who can get there fast and actually fix it, not just temporarily clear it so it backs up again next month.

We work all over the greater Little Rock area. From the historic homes in Quapaw Quarter to the newer developments in Maumelle and Conway. Each area has its own plumbing quirks.

Older neighborhoods often have galvanized pipes or cast iron that's reaching the end of its life. Newer areas might have builder-grade fixtures that need upgrading. And everywhere in between has water heaters that eventually wear out and drains that eventually clog.

Your plumbing keeps your home running. Hot showers, clean dishes, flushing toilets, washing clothes, all of that depends on everything working right. When something goes wrong, you need someone who can fix it quickly and do it right the first time.

That's what we do. No fancy marketing language. Just reliable plumbing service from people who actually live and work in Little Rock. Give us a call when you need a new water heater installed, when your drains are acting up, or when you've got any plumbing problem that needs fixing.
