Understanding Backflow and Its Risks

Maintaining significant water pressure is vital for ensuring proper water flow from taps, showers, and other plumbing fixtures. However, interruptions in water pressure due to malfunctions or high demand can lead to a reduction in pressure, potentially allowing the reverse flow of contaminated water. In such cases, water from the soil, storage, or other sources may be drawn back into clean water lines, resulting in exposure to harmful substances like pesticides, chemicals, fertilizer, feces, and other health risks. At J.E. Shekell, Inc., our skilled plumbers are committed to providing straightforward, trustworthy, and sustainable backflow prevention solutions throughout Indiana.

What our customers are saying

These guys are great. We have used them for years. They have replaced both HVAC units, water heater, water softener, garbage disposal, faucets, etc. Always go the extra mile. This week, Greg was our service tech for our scheduled maintenance.

I really can’t say enough about the professionalism of this company. Great customer service. Everyone I came into contact with, specifically Troy and Hannah, knew their stuff and were extremely helpful.

Brooke W.

Had them install a new Heat Pump mini split into a new addition of our house. Both technicians were knowledgeable in the equipment being installed and walked us through how to use the unit and how to maintain the unit…
