Specialty Plumbing

There are lots of different specialty plumbing services your home and business may need. At M&E Plumbing, we take care of all types of plumbing needs, no matter how complex or unique they are. If you have a speciality plumbing need, we are here to help you. 

A few of the speciality plumbing services we offer include: 

• Backflow services
• Hose bib services
• Sump pumps
• Ejector pumps
• Water filters and softeners

Backflow occurs when water goes in the opposite direction than it is supposed to. Backflow is not a good thing. It is very serious, as it can result in the contamination of your drinking water. 

When backflow occurs, instead of your water flowing down your drains, to your sewer or septic system, the wastewater comes back up and out your drains.

This results in contamination of your drinking water from chemicals, organic compounds, metals, and biological components found in your wastewater. 

Backflow is not a good thing because cross-contamination between your wastewater and potable water can occur when backflow occurs. 

A hose bib is your outside water tap or faucet to which you can attach a hose. A hose bib goes by many names, including spigot, outdoor faucet, outdoor hydrant, sillcock, and water tap. A hose bib's purpose is to allow easy access to water outside. 

Hose bibs are also used on water heater tanks and allow you to drain the water in the tank. This is for cleaning and maintenance purposes. 

We offer a full range of hose bib services. At M&E Plumbing, we can repair, replace, or install a new hose bib for you. All you have to do is call us and set up a service appointment, and we will take care of your hose bib needs! 

You need a sump pump if you experience flooding and leaking in your basement or crawlspace. 

At M&E Plumbing, we can assist you with installing and replacing your sump pump. We can also help you take care of your sump pump by performing an annual maintenance check. 

There are five different types of sump pumps you can install in your home, including: 

• Submersible sump pump
• Pedestal sump pump
• Water-powered sump pump
• Battery back-up sump pump
• Combination sump pump 

An ejector pump transports waste when your plumbing is located below your septic tank. For example, if your septic tank is at ground level and you have a basement bathroom, you will need an ejector pump to transport the sewage to your septic tank or sewage system.

A sewer ejector pump is made for residential applications. It can pump sewage up to 20 feet into a gravity sewer. The pump is installed near the bathroom or laundry room in your basement. 

The pump connects to a gravity line, which connects to the gravity sewer or septic system. A sewage ejector pump is less constantly than a sewage ejector grinder pump.

The purpose of a water filter is to remove impurities from your water. A water softener is designed to remove heavy minerals from your water. Both water filters and water softeners work together to improve the quality of your water. 

A water softener is designed to remove minerals from your water. Water softeners are installed when you have hard water, which means you have a lot of minerals in the water. 

Water filters remove contaminants from your water, making your water cleaner and safer to drink.

No plumbing job is too complex for M&E Plumbing. We handle all types of specialty plumbing, from backflow service, hose bib service, ejector pumps, and water filters.
