Backflow Prevention FAQs
Stay informed with answers to common questions about commercial backflow prevention, testing, and compliance.
What is backflow, and why is it a concern for businesses?
Backflow occurs when contaminated water reverses into your clean water supply—often due to pressure changes in the system. It poses a risk to employee and customer health and can lead to serious violations if left unchecked. Backflow preventers are essential for any commercial plumbing system connected to public water.
How often is backflow testing required in Ontario?
In most Ontario municipalities, backflow prevention devices must be tested annually by a certified professional. This ensures the device is functioning properly and protecting the potable water system from contamination. Failure to test can result in fines or water shut-offs.
Do all commercial properties need a backflow preventer?
Not all buildings are required to have one, but most commercial, industrial, and institutional properties are—especially those with irrigation systems, boilers, fire protection systems, or chemical usage. We can evaluate your plumbing system to determine what’s required and provide the right solution.
What happens during a backflow inspection or test?
A licensed technician shuts off the water temporarily, tests each check valve and relief valve in the assembly, and verifies that the unit maintains the required pressure. If the device fails, we’ll explain the issue and recommend repair or replacement options.
Can you submit test results to the city on our behalf?
Yes. As part of our full-service backflow testing, we handle all required documentation and submit the results directly to your municipality. We ensure every detail is taken care of so you remain fully compliant without the paperwork hassle.
