What is Backflow? What Causes It?
Backflow is caused when a cross-connection occurs between a private plumbing line and the municipal water line. Without an effective backflow prevention system in place, wastewater can reverse its course and end up flowing into the city’s water line—effectively contaminating the community’s potable supply of water.
Two issues can lead to backflow: backpressure and backsiphonage.
Backpressure involves an imbalance in water pressure. If the water pressure in a private plumbing line is greater than the water pressure in the municipal line, then it can result in backpressure.
Backsiphonage, on the other hand, is typically caused by damage to the municipal water main, or if a fire hydrant is illegally or incorrectly opened.
This is why it’s so important to install backflow prevention systems and devices, and to have them inspected annually by a certified Clearfield, Utah, backflow tester.

I observed Todd Snider, with Thurgood Plumbing, using the camera the check the neighbors sewer line for obstructions. Our drains have started to to slow a bit so I had them come check our main sewer drain line. The camera showed finger sized roots in our drain. Todd was able to use the proper tools to clean them out and also checked and cleared all of our interior drains.Everything drains great now!!Todd did a great professional job. He was efficient and clean in his work. I highly recommend Thurgood plumbing!!!

Since buying our 100 year old house, Thurgood has helped us twice. And both times, Todd & Gus (our plumbers) have gone above and beyond the call to help us. Making sure we knew what needed done, giving us options within our range, communicating the entire time. It's been a game changer.
Ursula McClure
Great estimate!
Tansy Leonardson
Todd was able to come quickly and help with a variety of projects in our home. He was friendly and explained everything he was doing. He was also patient with my kids’ questions.I would have liked a little more clean up afterward (some caulk and splatter in a few places), but overall very pleased with the work.
Jed Harris
Have used thurgood plumbing for a long time and have recommended to other because it was always done well at a reasonable price this time i thought the job was well done but was very disappointed to be charged nearly $300 for a gas line sediment trap that was only 1 half inch tee 1 6 inch nipple and one half inch cap

Gusto has been amazing to work with! We had gone with sporadic hot/cold water episodes for weeks after another company incorrectly installed our tankless heater.Gusto was able to diagnose and repair heater parts, add ventilation, and has been working with the gas company to help us upgrade and prevent further issues. We especially appreciate Gusto’s quick response and communication throughout this whole ordeal. Would 100% recommend!!!
Phil Evans
At least five stars and maybe 10⭐️!!!!TODD SNIDER has been doing an amazing plumbing job on a very disastrous rental home next door to me. This neglected home had a failed sewer main in the crawlspace and sewage has filled the it. A sump pump in the crawlspace has been discharging sewage into the yard for sometime now. When Thurgood Plumbing was called out by the management company, they came and assessed the situation and said it was a hazmat problem to start with.Bingham restoration was the disaster cleanup company that came. They did the huge job of trying to remove the sewage from the crawlspace. They worked on it for days. The water had been shut off, but the occupants in the home continued to obtain water and use the sewage system. They had also been told to leave and stay elsewhere because of the toxic fumes. All of the good work had been for not. It was finally cleaned out enough and chemically treated so that Thurgood plumbing could go into the crawl space and make the needed repairs. Now, 2 weeks later, with amazing effort from Todd, the full extent of remediation has been identified. The home has been posted “NO OCCUPANCY”. The project is now on hold waiting for the “out of state” owner to agree to bring the house into compliance.Thank you, Thurgood Plumbing and Todd Snider for your professionalism in a very difficult situation.Waiting for the next chapter….

Paul was assigned to my call and he was outstanding. He clearly knew what he was talking about. I had a couple of things I wanted to take care of and Paul was knowledgeable and shared a link with me so that I can make a good choice. The work completed today is excellent. We’ve been using Thurgood’s for 15 years and have never been disappointed.

Richard Hirsh
Overall, I had a great experience with Chuck and Todd. They provided excellent service and answered loads of questions I had about my water softener (which needed replacement) and the pressure relief valve (PRV) that wasn't working any more (and which could have caused serious damage to the house's plumbing system). Both men also gave me their personal cell phone numbers in case I had further questions. Wonderful people and excellent work.
s G
Very knowledgeable. Gave me multiple options considering my plumbing issues. On time, efficient, kept t me up to speed on what needed to ve done, the parts they had to locate. So far so good. New water heater and softener. Now just need more work on my old pipes.

Steve H
Paul showed up on time to diagnose our water heater issue and we had a repair estimate before he left. We also obtained an estimate for a tankless WH and after researching the brand, type and model they were going to install we decided to spend the extra money so we never run out of hot water. Paul and Troy were able to remove the old and I stall the new in about 6 hours. They laid out floor protectors and were very friendly, respectful and professional and didn't mind taking the time to explain things to me when I got nosey. Great company, value and people. Will call on them again In the future if I need anything done.
Emily Pogue
Gusto completed the plumbing for our ADA bathroom and kitchen remodel. He was easy to communicate with and responsive to our needs. I appreciate that he double checked with us for placement of fixtures and such. The pictures speak for themselves. All installs were completed same day and are working great.
Karla Medreano
I Had a great experience with Thurgood and highly recommend their services! Our service technician Gusto was extremely professional and knowledgeable. (my staff also noted how friendly he was)He made sure I had the right parts I needed for my commercial faucet that had an ongoing leak and addressed all of my plumbing concerns. He was incredibly efficient with timing and was able to work around my company environment. Based off of the professionalism and my quick repairs I will be recommending this company and using them again for all of my company needs.

Athene Grimsby
We got home from work around 3pm on a Friday and submitted a request for an appointment and within 10 minutes, Thurgood was calling us setting up an appointment for that afternoon. By 4:03, Todd texted saying he was 20 minutes out and he showed up right on time. By 7:15ish, Todd had given us our water pressure back. He might have had to work a little later than closing time but he brought us so much joy for giving us back our water pressure. HE IS AMAZING!
Linda Littlejohn

Jonathan Magness
We had our water heater die on us and Todd from Thurgood showed up ASAP and had a replacement in place within a few hours. Good pricing and great service. I hope I don't have to call them again anytime soon, but if I do have any plumbing issues in the future, they'll be the first ones I call.
Valerie S
Definitely recommend - Gusto's the manStaff was quick to set up an appointment with a short show up window. We've had some pretty Mickey Mouse repairs over the years with plumbing. Often these plumbers just told me what was going to happen, versus letting me finish a sentence. Gusto was very personable from the get-go, and listened to all of my concerns. I even said, don't worry about X, we will just live with it. But he was awesome about solving issues and skipped the "mansplaining." Gusto worked diligently, and it was all done within the day. AND he even checked in the next day to make sure all was looking good. I'd highly recommend Thurgood and recommend asking for him.
Janet Machado
Did what he said he would do - integrity at it's best. Gusto was on time for the estimate and the work. He worked fast, did good work and left the space clean.
Cody Fowers
These guys came in and fixed problems that have been plaguing us since we built the home in 2016. We finally have constant and sufficient hot water, the radiant heat works, and we have no more leaks. They are very courteous, honest, and professional. Highly recommend.
Natalie Rodriguez
They take their business very professionally I appreciate that they contacted me about a previous service call and apologized and came back out to fix the issues I had. Most businesses would have not done that. I appreciate them making it right 👍 and staying professional about it
Crissie Eastvold
Paul was great! He fixed my shower and hose bib in a friendly and professional manner. (AND didn’t break the bank) I’d recommend 100%
Barbara Adams
He was great; he found the problem right away.
David Olson
Excellent, excellent service! To notch! The technician was informative, professional, and didn't quit until problem was resolved. Very thorough!

They treat you like family, and do the best jobs until complete. Like one would do for family! A plus and beyond!

Todd was absolutely amazing with our drain line! We showed him a video from our home warranty video of it and was able to make a diagnosis from it, then they gave us a few quotes and explanations for each one. The whole time he looked us in the eyes and went over our concerns with facts, empathy, and respect towards us. We felt very safe with their work and care towards our new home!
