Dor Mar Heating and Air Conditioning Expands Services with New Backflow Prevention Offering

Newark, Ohio – November 2, 2023– Dor-Mar Heating & Air Conditioning, a longtime trusted provider of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) services in Newark, Ohio, is proud to announce the expansion of its plumbing services with the introduction of backflow prevention and testing.

 

Backflow occurs when the normal flow of water is reversed in a plumbing system, potentially contaminating the clean water supply with pollutants and contaminants. This can happen due to a sudden change in water pressure, and it poses a significant risk to public health and safety.

 

Dor-Mar Heating & Air Conditioning is committed to ensuring the safety and well-being of the Newark area and the central Ohio community. With the introduction of backflow prevention services, the company is taking a proactive step to help protect the local water supply from contamination.

 

“Our team at Dor-Mar has always been dedicated to providing top-notch services to our community, and the introduction of backflow prevention is a testament to our commitment to safety and excellence,” said Steven Brewer, third-generation owner of the highly-rated company. “Backflow can lead to serious health risks, and our certified technicians are here to ensure that our customers’ plumbing systems are secure and compliant with local regulations.”

 

Dor-Mar’s backflow prevention services include:

 

  1. Backflow Testing: Our certified technicians will conduct thorough inspections and tests of backflow prevention devices to ensure they are functioning correctly.
  2. Backflow Prevention Device Installation: We provide professional installation of backflow prevention devices, tailored to meet the specific needs of your plumbing system.
  3. Maintenance and Repairs: Regular maintenance and prompt repairs are crucial to ensuring the longevity and effectiveness of backflow prevention devices. Our team is equipped to handle all maintenance and repair needs.
  4. Compliance and Certification: We assist our customers in meeting local regulations and obtaining necessary certifications for their backflow prevention devices.

Dor-Mar Heating & Air Conditioning has been serving the Newark community for more than 60 years, providing reliable and efficient HVAC services. The introduction of backflow prevention services is a natural extension of our commitment to excellence and community safety.

 

For more information about our backflow prevention services, or to schedule a consultation, please contact Greg Brewer at Dor-Mar Heating & Air Conditioning at 740.345.6639​ or visit our website at https://www.dormarhvac.com/products-services/backflow-prevention/

Leading Bakersfield Law Firm Bufete Legal Gancedo Offers Unrivalled Assessment and Action in Accident Cases

Bakersfield, CA – Victims of vehicle and workplace accidents in Bakersfield are increasingly turning to attorneys at Bufete Legal Gancedo to seek justice and compensation.

Bufete Legal Gancedo, headed by experienced attorney Hector Ganedo, is the leading name on the Bakersfield personal injury law landscape. The legal team has a fierce reputation for the pursuit of justice for clients involved in cases.

Their attorneys have more than 25 years of experience and have represented plaintiffs in legal actions involving injuries or losses due to accidents, defective products, wage and hour abuse, negligence, and consumer fraud.

One of their particular niche areas of expertise is analysing, assessing and advising victims of car accidents. Unsafe drivers must be held responsible for the damage and chaos they inflict on other people's lives. 

That is one of the reasons why their attorneys are so passionate about upholding personal injury law in Bakersfield. The recklessness and carelessness of distracted, drunk, risk-taking or irresponsible drivers must be punished. Bufete Legal Gancedo can help bring a negligent driver to justice if he is seriously injured.

"We have a reputation for success and compassion because our personal injury law firm is personally involved in every case we take on, and we treat the client as an individual, not a case number," said Mr Ganedo.

He advised that for someone who receives serious injuries, the property damage is extensive, and the car accident was not their fault; having an experienced car accident attorney on their side makes sense.

The legal team can seek a higher compensation settlement from the insurance company, help deal with insurance adjusters and advise on all the laws and statutes that could help their case.

Bufete Legal Gancedo operates on a 100% contingency fee basis for personal injury cases. This means the first consultation is free, the client does not owe any upfront legal fees, the firm doesn't get paid until the end of the case, and it takes only a portion of a settlement or jury verdict, so no money comes out of the client's pocket.

The legal team lawyers have successfully resolved car accident claims involving intersection collisions, accidents caused by speeding, side-impact crashes, rollover accidents and high-speed highway accidents.

The law firm's extensive experience, detailed and meticulous approach, and tireless advocacy for maximum compensation have enabled it to become a proven champion in its field and obtain successful resolutions.

They ensure that they provide high-quality legal representation, focused on obtaining maximum compensation for their clients through robust negotiations and, if necessary, aggressive litigation.
