Plumbing should run one way: clean water in, dirty water out. But if pressure levels change, sewage can start to back up – and it’s backflow testing that keeps you protected.

Our technicians know your city’s specific requirements.
We’re certified by the BC Water & Waste Association.

If you’re a business owner or facility manager, people are counting on you to provide clean water at your properties. Not only that – in most municipalities, it’s an annual requirement.
It’s easy to understand why – backflow testing ensures dirty, contaminated water can’t mix together with clean water.
In other words: properly functioning backflow devices are the difference between safe and unsafe water.
We know the municipal requirements across Metro Vancouver and can help you find out if you need backflow testing.

Backflow testing involves testing your plumbing system and backflow preventers to ensure that sewage can’t flow in reverse and contaminate clean water.
A backflow test is performed by assessing the placement, setup, and valves of your backflow preventer.
The price varies depending on the plumbing system. For example, a complex industrial plumbing system that deals with very hot or very cold liquids would cost more to test than a standard residential system.
Backflow testing is mandatory for commercial properties (and some residential ones) because sewage backflow can very quickly cause serious and even fatal illnesses if many people are exposed to contaminated water.
