Called about a gas smell near the water heater. They told me to get out of the house first and call the utility, then came and found it. Took it seriously, which I appreciated.

Backflow Testing & Repair in Algona, Iowa
Backflow prevention keeps irrigation water, boiler water and process water from being pulled back into the drinking supply when pressure drops. Most Algona water authorities want an annual test on any device protecting a commercial building, a fire line or a lawn irrigation system.
Call (833) 435-9778 and describe what is happening. We will give you an arrival window before you hang up and a flat price before anyone starts work - the same price at 2am as at 2pm.

Hard water is the quiet problem here
Water across much of Kossuth County carries enough mineral to scale the bottom of a water heater and fur up fixtures within a few years. If your Algona tank has started rumbling or your hot water runs out sooner than it used to, sediment is usually why. A flush and an anode check often buys years, and a softener stops the cycle.

New disposal and a dishwasher connection that the last installer had done wrong. Fixed both, and pointed out the wrong one rather than quietly leaving it.

Shower had been running cold randomly for months. Turned out to be the balancing cartridge, not the whole valve like another company told us. Fixed in under an hour.

Backflow Testing in Algona: common questions
How often does a backflow device need testing?
Annually in most Algona jurisdictions, and some commercial and fire applications more often. We keep your date on file and remind you before it lapses.
What happens if my device fails the test?
We rebuild it and retest. We carry kits for the assemblies we see most in Algona, so failures are usually resolved on the same visit rather than turning into a second appointment.
Do you file the paperwork with the water authority?
Yes. The completed report goes to the authority and a copy goes to you, so there is nothing left on your desk to chase.
Should I have my irrigation backflow tested before winter?
Test on your normal annual schedule, but do winterise the device before the first hard Iowa freeze. A cracked assembly from freezing is a far bigger bill than a test.
How quickly can you get to an emergency in Algona?
Usually within the hour for Algona addresses. When you call (833) 435-9778 we give you a real arrival window before you hang up, and we call again if anything changes it.
