Expert Backflow Testing in Burnaby & Tri-Cities
Backflow testing is essential for maintaining clean, safe water in residential, commercial, and industrial plumbing systems. They help prevent contamination of drinking water caused by the reverse flow of water or other substances into the public water supply, this is typically done with a specially designed plumbing device, called a backflow assembly. Backflow assemblies protect yours and the public's health, ensuring water safety. It's crucial to have certified backflow testers that understand backflow assembly testing, and get repairs underway as needed.

What is Backflow?
Backflow occurs when contaminated water enters into the clean water supply line due to pressure changes or other issues in the plumbing system. As the name implies, backflow occurs when water flows backward through your pipes. Therefore, pollutants and potentially hazardous substances such as bacteria, viruses, or chemicals can potentially enter your home or business from sources like irrigation systems, a sprinkler system, or industrial equipment (instead of flowing out, it flows back in). Hence the need for a proper backflow prevention assembly.

The Benefits of Regular Backflow Testing & Prevention
By regularly having your plumbing system tested for backflow risks, you can ensure that you provide clean drinking water for yourself and anyone else using your property's plumbing system (such as tenants). Additionally, by implementing preventive measures, such as installing a backwater prevention device (having backflow assembly installed), you can save money by avoiding costly repairs down the line due to contamination-related damages. It also brings peace of mind, knowing that your home or business's water supply and irrigation systems are safe.
How Backflow Testing Can Save Your Property
Backflow testing and prevention are critical components of maintaining a healthy home or business environment because they help protect against contaminated drinking water. Regularly having professional plumbers come out to inspect your plumbing system for potential backflows ensures access to clean drinking water, while also preventing potential damage caused by contaminants. Implementing preventive measures like installing backwater prevention devices (backflow preventer or backflow assembly) also helps while saving money in long-term repair costs incurred due to untreated backflows. Taking these steps now provides peace of mind, knowing that you have taken proactive measures towards protecting yourself from unnecessary health risks associated with contaminated drinking water supplies in the future.

Are Backflow Prevention Devices Necessary?
Backflow prevention devices are plumbing devices that prevent contaminated water from flowing back into the portable water supply. They are designed to ensure the water in a plumbing system flows in one direction and prevent backflow. Backflow preventers are essential in plumbing systems as they protect the public water supply from contamination. There are different types of backflow prevention devices, including backflow prevention assemblies which are required by law in many jurisdictions. These devices must be installed and tested regularly to ensure they function to generate test reports.
