Sump Pumps and a Battery Back-Up System

Let’s face it, a flooded basement is a catastrophe.  The loss of all those memories, the expense of fixing it and the time it takes to sort through the ruins to discover what is salvageable and what is not.  Be proactive…don’t face this terrible fate.  Maybe you have a finished basement or it is just a depository for a lifetime of memories.  Either way it is worth protecting.

Here is A Better Option: Two Sump Pumps and a Battery Back-Up System.
This will take away the worry of basement flooding and loss of personal items and allows you maximum protection against flooding during loss of power and heavy rains. You can even power other appliances with a Sump Pro system during a power outage.  The alternative is just too painful to even consider.

Call AquaTech Plumbing before that happens. Our battery back-up includes the battery, a back-up pump in addition to your sump pump, and an alarm that sounds if your battery charge is getting low, it needs water, or there is something wrong with either your primary or back up pump. Certain systems even call your cell phone!  We offer up to 6 months, same-as-cash, 0% financing!  Call AquaTech Plumbing today serving Naperville, Lisle, Plainfield, Aurora, Geneva, Batavia, St. Charles, Wheaton, Winfield, Warrenville, or Glen Ellyn, at 630-416-3555, 630-898-3444, 630-377-9555, or 630-462-3555

What Does RPZ Stand For?

RPZ stands for Reduced Pressure Zone Backflow Preventer and is installed on various plumbing systems to protect your drinking water and the city water supply from contaminates.

If you need a higher level of protection then RPZ may be exactly what fits your needs.  If there is even a slight fluctuation in the city’s water mains this may contaminate the potable drinking water supply.  Obviously that is NOT GOOD.

RPZ/Backflow device testing, certification, repair and installation for sprinkler systems are one of our many certified specialties provided by AquaTech Plumbing, serving the western suburbs of Chicagoland.  Without  proper drainage and irrigation the structural integrity of your property is at risk. Here is the point…many people have plumbing needs that exceed the services of a regular plumber.  Often you need a plumbing specialist.

If you live in the Naperville-Plainfield-Aurora, Geneva-Batavia-St.Charles or Wheaton-Winfield-Warrenville-Glen Ellyn area, contact AquaTech Plumbing for a variety of plumbing solutions at 630-416-3555, 630-377-9555, or 630-462-3555. AquaTech will give you more information on RPZ/Backflow installation, certification, repair and replacements.

Summer Rains Effecting Your Property.

How many of you remember the great deluge of 1996?  Aurora Illinois received 19 inches of rain in 24 hours matching a national record.  You never know when mother nature will unleash another monster summer storm on Chicagoland.  Basements were flooded, yards were under water and roads were closed.  How do you protect yourself from an unexpected summer storm?

Try a sump pump with a battery backup system in place.  Within hours a flood can envelop your home from the basement on up.  The result could be hundreds of thousands of dollars in water damage, not to mention the loss of personal property that can never be replaced.  For the solution call AquaTech Plumbing at (630) 416- 3555.  They provide 3 lines of defense against flooding and do it at a very reasonable price with payment plans available.

If you live in the Naperville-Plainfield-Aurora, Geneva-Batavia-St.Charles or Wheaton-Winfield-Warrenville-Glen Ellyn area, contact AquaTech Plumbing at (630)-416-3555, 630-377-9555, or 630-462-3555 for more information on how you can defend your home against summer rains.

Are You Ready For Fall? We Are!


Fall is here and we have a few tips to help you prepare your home's plumbing for the change in weather.

First, drain your hot water heater: This is especially necessary if you happen to live in an area that uses hard water. When your hot water heater isn't drained enough, extra amounts of sediments could build up in the tank, and rust could begin to develop in the tank.



Autumn is the best time to drain your hot water heater. If you find that your hot water heater is too old or is rusty, you should probably consider getting a new one. You don't want to go throughout winter taking cold showers. Tankless water heaters are also an option to consider.



Second, Disconnect water hoses: Gone are the days when you used to go outside to fill up the pool or wash your car thanks to your trusty water hose. Well, now is the time to disconnect your beloved water hose and put it away until springtime. If you leave your outdoor hose connected to the faucet, the water that's still left in the hose can freeze and expand during the fall and winter months, which can cause your faucets and the connecting pipes inside your home to freeze. Not only will you be hindered from your future summer outdoor activities in the coming year, but you will also have to foot a hefty repair bill if you neglect to disconnect the hose.



Third, Give us a call! We are more than willing to inspect and certify your home's readiness. Our professionals are standing by. We're ready for Fall, are you?

Are you in need of RPZ/Backflow device testing, certification, repair, installation? Are you in need of an explanation of what that even means? Great. We can help with both!


What Does RPZ Stand For?


RPZ stands for Reduced Pressure Zone Backflow Preventer and is installed on various plumbing systems to protect your drinking water and the city water supply from contaminates.
An RPZ is a specific type of backflow prevention device utilized when a higher level of protection is needed. Even small fluctuations in city water mains can cause drops in pressure large enough to allow contaminants from a non-potable system to backflow into the potable drinking water supply--Not good.

RPZ/Backflow device testing, certification, repair and installation for sprinkler systems are one of our many certified specialties. Proper drainage and irrigation is essential to preserving the structural integrity of your property. Call our experts at Aqua Tech Plumbing today.
