Backflow Prevention
Backflow is the undesirable reversal in the flow of water from a real or potential source of contamination back to the potable (or clean) water supply. Consider having a garden hose in a bucket of soapy water at your home, and having backflow event occur causing that soapy water to “backflow” into the drinking water portion of your home. Various types of backflow preventers exist for different applications and health hazard conditions, check state and other local administrative codes or other regulation on the correct backflow to use. The most common are reduced pressure backflow preventer and double backflow preventer valves. Backflow preventers are primarily used in sewer, waste water, residential, sprinkler and irrigation backflow applications. If you are looking for a backflow prevention system, give Stemmle Plumbing a call today to keep your water and sewer safe.

Pressure Regulators
Water pressure regulators control both the water pressure and the flow rate of the incoming water supply into your home. Regulators are used to allow high-pressure water supply lines to be reduced to safe and usable pressures. A properly installed pressure regulator can eliminate many common plumbing problems, saving you both time and money in the long run. However, a damaged or worn out pressure regulator can result in a dangerously high water pressure being present in your home. There are many common issues that can be easily prevented or solved through the installation or replacement of a water pressure regulator.
  • Problems Caused by High Water Pressure:
  • Broken or burst pipes that can lead to flooding
  • Continual sound of running water
  • Running toilets
  • Damage to your appliances such as dishwashers, refrigerator ice makers or washing machines
  • Banging pipe sounds
  • Leaking sprinkler valves
  • High water bills
Stemmle Plumbing’s expertly trained professionals can help determine the unique needs of your plumbing system and what solution best works for your situation.

Water Heater Inspections
The typical water heater is usually a cylindrical tank with a heat source in or below the tank, used to heat entering cold water for supply of hot water to a home when needed. Most residential water heaters have a 38 to 50 gallon glass-lined steel tank (but can range up to 88 gallons). The heat source can be either gas (natural or propane), oil, electricity, solar or geothermal. The life expectancy of the average water heater is 8 to 12 years for gas and oil, 10-15 for electrical, solar and geothermal, and over 20 years on tankless (made of stainless steel).

There are several different types of hot water systems used in Richmond: Indirect water heater systems, dual purpose water heater systems, on-demand water heater systems (or tankless), high efficiency gas systems or direct vent systems. Indirect water heater systems use a boiler to heat the water. Dual purpose water heaters (also referred to as hedonic water heaters) use one of the heat types above and then store domestic hot water while circulating hot water through a heat exchanger connected to a forced air furnace. On-demand water heaters (or tankless) only heat the water when there is a demand for it and they do not have a storage tank. Instant hot water heaters are small (1/2 gallon) and are located near the tap–a design that provides hot water for only one tap.

Stemmle Plumbing is the plumbing company to call in Richmond when you need your water heater inspected.

Basic Water Heater Components
Whether the water heater uses gas, oil or electric to fuel the heat source, all water heaters share the following basic components:
  • Cold Water Inlet Pipe
  • Cold Water Control Valve
  • Cold Water Dip Tube
  • Hot Water Outlet Pipe
  • Anti-Corrosion or Sacrificial Anode
  • Drain Valve
  • Temperature/Pressure Relief (TPR) Valve (TPRV)

Trenchless Pipe Repair Services in Richmond VA
You no longer have to have a trench cut through your yard or sidewalk or driveway to replace sewer or water pipe. With a small hole at each end of the run, we can pull pipe from the building to the main. We can even upsize a line from 4? to 6? to provide you greater capacity. The trenchless method uses the existing damaged sewer line as a conduit and guide for the new pipe. A cone-shaped, path-clearing installation head with the new pipe attached is inserted through the old pipe. As the installation head passes through the existing pipe, it actually pulls in a full-size replacement pipe.

After installation of the new pipe is complete, it is simply connected to the existing plumbing system. This code-approved pipe is a completely root-proof, leak-proof, chemical and acid resistant pipe, with a 100 year design life.

Pipe bursting allows us to install new pipelines in the same or even larger diameter than the pipe being replaced with minimum excavation.

This heavy-duty HDPE pipe is available from 4 inches in diameter up through 36 inches in diameter. This high molecular weight pipe is corrosion-resistant and offers excellent flow characteristics. The use of continuous, fusion-welded pipe eliminates problem areas associated with joints such as leakage or infiltration and permits installation in smooth, jointless lengths. Another advantage is its flexibility, which permits it to be laid in a gradual radius for use on curves and steep hillsides without the need for
fittings or excavations.
