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.

In Ottawa Canada, Carson did a great job of installing a new toilet as well as taking away the old one. All at a reasonable price. We discussed the type of toilet I wanted, he went out and bought the toilet, he installed the toilet and took away the old one. He was fast and efficient and did a great job at cleaning up afterwards. Great Job Carson! Thank you very much! And thank you to John The Plumber!Posted on Google![]()

I chose to go with John the Plumber because of their reviews online. Originally, they tried pawning off the job a few hours before the scheduled appointment to a sister-company because they had an emergency come up. I decided to move the date to accommodate the scheduling conflict and so I could keep John the Plumber as the provider of the service. Matt (plumber) was great! Very personable, knowledgeable and did a great job identifying the issue and fixing the problem. I will definitely reach out for future plumbing issues.Posted on Google![]()
