🚨 Backflow Prevention Device Testing Reminder 🚨

It’s that time of year again! If your property has a backflow prevention device, testing is now due in accordance with New York State Sanitary Code Section 5-1.31.

This regulation requires that all backflow prevention devices be tested annually by a New York State Certified Backflow Prevention Device Tester.
Failure to comply can result in fines or penalties from your local water authority.

To help you understand what’s required, we’ve attached a sample notification letter and photos of typical backflow valves for reference.

If you have any questions or need assistance, call (914) 522-1400 or DM us — we’ll be happy to connect you with certified inspectors and handle all the paperwork along with scheduling.

Stay safe, stay compliant, and protect your water supply! 💧

Water is one of the biggest threats to masonry chimneys—and the damage isn’t always obvious until it’s costly. Here are a few warning signs to look out for:

🔹 Efflorescence – white, chalky staining on the bricks indicates moisture is seeping through.
🔹 Spalling Bricks – flaking, cracking, or pieces of brick breaking off.
🔹 Rust – rust on the damper or firebox can mean water intrusion.
🔹 Staining or Dampness – water spots on walls or ceilings near the chimney.
🔹 Crumbling Mortar Joints – weakened mortar that allows even more water in.

Regular inspections can catch these early before they turn into major repairs.

💡 Tip: Installing a proper chimney cap (see photos) and keeping mortar joints maintained are two of the best defenses against water damage.

📞 If you’ve noticed any of these signs, reach out—we’ll make sure your chimney stays strong, safe, and dry.
