Backflow Prevention in University Heights, OH
Protect your drinking water. Certified backflow install, test, and repair.

Backflow preventers keep contaminated water from irrigation systems, boilers, fire suppression, and commercial connections from reversing into your clean drinking water supply. Most municipalities in Greater Cleveland require certified backflow preventers on specific connections — and annual certified testing to confirm they're working. On Our Way Plumbing has certified backflow prevention technicians on staff for installation, testing, and repair throughout University Heights and Northeast Ohio.
We install RPZ (reduced pressure zone), DCV (double check valve), and PVB (pressure vacuum breaker) devices sized for the connection they're protecting. Our certified testers perform the annual test required by most Cleveland-area water utilities and submit the paperwork on your behalf. If a device fails testing, we can usually repair or replace it same-visit.
Call On Our Way Plumbing at 216-677-2707 for backflow installation, testing, or repair in University Heights. Certified, permitted, and paperwork handled.
Why University Heights Residents Choose On Our Way Plumbing
University Heights gets its name and much of its identity from John Carroll University, the Jesuit institution that has anchored this east side community since 1935 when it relocated from the west side of Cleveland. The campus's Gothic architecture and manicured grounds set the tone for a city of about 13,000 residents who value education, community, and well-kept neighborhoods. The Cedar Road corridor and Warrensville Center Road intersection form the city's commercial heart, while the tree-lined streets off Silsby Road and Fenwick Road are home to a mix of long-time residents, young families, and rental properties popular with students and faculty — properties where plumbing issues need to be handled quickly to keep tenants happy.
On Our Way Plumbing is a go-to resource for University Heights homeowners, landlords, and property managers. We specialize in rental unit plumbing repairs — running toilets, dripping faucets, water heater replacements — for the quick turnovers that landlords need. We also handle full home service, water heater installations, drain cleaning, sewer line repair, and same-day repairs for urgent problems. Our experienced plumbers understand the plumbing quirks of the older housing stock that defines this community.
