We start by discussing your needs and gathering information about your plumbing system. Whether you need annual testing, a new device installation, or toilet repair, we assess your property to determine the best solution for safeguarding your water supply.
Our certified technicians perform a detailed inspection of your backflow preventers, ensuring their proper installation, functionality, and compliance with regulatory requirements. We check for signs of wear, leaks, and improper installation. If your property does not already have a backflow prevention system, we evaluate your plumbing to recommend and plan an appropriate installation.
Using advanced equipment, we conduct precise tests to measure water pressure, valve performance, and overall functionality, including the design features and testing requirements of a reduced pressure principle assembly. This ensures your backflow prevention device is working effectively to stop contamination.
Once testing is complete, we provide a detailed report outlining our findings and any necessary steps for repairs or maintenance, ensuring compliance with the Safe Drinking Water Act to protect the municipal water supply. If your device passes inspection, we issue a certification that complies with Ottawa’s backflow regulations, keeping you in good standing with local authorities.
If any issues are detected during testing, we offer prompt repair services to restore your device’s performance. Back pressure in boiler systems can affect the flow of drinking water, potentially leading to contamination. We replace faulty components, reseal connections, and recalibrate valves to ensure full protection against backflow.

I hired John the Plumber (Eric) to do a complete plumbing rebuild of the basement bathroom (+4 feet of water) after the Canada Day flood. He explained clearly what needed to be done. When Phase 1 began he showed up with student / apprentice /helper (Reza). They worked together like a plumbers symphony. They completed Phase 1 in a timely and professional manner. After doing so they explained clearly what had been done and iterated what would occur when they will return for Phase 2. I have complete confidence that they will complete Phase 2 and 3 in the same professional manner they did in Phase 1.Posted on Google![]()

Today was my second appointment with John the Plumber. I had 2 toilets installed. I was extremely fortunate that Vaughn was able to arrive a little earlier than the 3 hour window I was given. He was amazing and had the work done in a few hours. Very professional and personable! It was very evident he has pride in his work! I highly recommend this company and highly recommend Vaughn. Also thanks to all office staff I communicated with in setting up all my previous appointments.
