Our Backflow Prevention Services in Ottawa
Backflow Prevention Device Installation
Proper installation is the cornerstone of an effective backflow prevention system. Our licensed plumbers will assess your property, determine the right type of backflow prevention device based on hazard levels, and install backflow devices in compliance with Ottawa’s regulations. Whether it’s a double-check valve assembly (DCVA) or a reduced pressure zone (RPZ) assembly, we’ll ensure your water supply is safeguarded.
Annual Backflow Testing and Certification
Annual testing of backflow preventers is a critical part of maintaining compliance with Ottawa’s regulations and ensuring water safety. Our certified technicians conduct detailed backflow testing to verify your device’s functionality, detect any irregularities, and provide the required certifications.
Backflow Device Repairs and Maintenance
Backflow devices must be in top working condition to provide maximum protection. Over time, wear and tear can compromise their performance. Our repair and maintenance services address issues like:
Faulty Valves • Pressure Problems • Leaks
Regular maintenance extends the lifespan of your device and ensures consistent water safety.
Cross-Connection Control Surveys
Cross-connections are potential points in your plumbing system where contamination could occur, posing risks to the drinking water distribution system. Our cross-connection surveys identify these risks and recommend solutions to prevent contamination. These inspections are critical for both residential and commercial properties.
Emergency Backflow Prevention Services
A backflow emergency can compromise water safety and pose immediate risks to health and property. Our 24/7 emergency plumbing services ensure prompt resolution of issues like backflow device failures or sudden contamination threats.
Backflow Device Upgrades and Replacements
If your current backflow device no longer meets safety standards or is beyond repair, our technicians can replace it with a modern, code-compliant solution such as a reduced pressure principle assembly. Upgrading your system ensures reliable performance and continued compliance with local by-laws.
