and Why Does It Matter?
Backflow occurs when water flows in the reverse direction within your plumbing system, potentially carrying contaminants like chemicals, bacteria, or debris into your clean water supply. This can happen due to changes in water pressure, such as during a pipe burst or heavy water usage.
To safeguard against this, municipalities in Metro Vancouver require regular backflow testing Vancouver services for properties equipped with backflow prevention devices. We offer backflow installation, replacement, repair, and testing. Get in touch or book your backflow testing Vancouver service online in minutes!
