Backflow Testing Vancouver

Protecting your drinking water from contamination is not just important — it’s the law. At Drain Vancouver, we provide certified backflow testing services for residential, commercial, and industrial properties across Vancouver and the surrounding areas. Our licensed technicians ensure your backflow prevention device is functioning properly, keeping your potable water supply safe from harmful backflow events.

What Is Backflow and Why Is Testing Required?

Backflow occurs when contaminated water flows in the reverse direction and enters the clean water supply. This can happen due to changes in water pressure, such as during a main break, pump failure, or heavy demand. If your property connects to irrigation systems, boilers, fire sprinklers, or industrial equipment, backflow prevention devices are required by law to protect the municipal water supply.

Annual backflow testing is mandated by many municipalities, including the City of Vancouver, to ensure that your devices are working correctly and remain compliant with safety standards.

Who Needs Backflow Testing?

Backflow prevention and testing are commonly required for:

  • Commercial buildings and apartment complexes
  • Medical and dental offices
  • Restaurants and food processing facilities
  • Laundromats and car washes
  • Fire suppression and sprinkler systems
  • Irrigation systems and garden hose bibs
  • Any property with cross-connections to the potable water supply

Our Certified Backflow Testing Process

Our team uses calibrated equipment to test your backflow prevention device according to local regulations. The process typically includes:

  • Shutting off water to the backflow device
  • Inspecting all valves, gauges, and internal parts
  • Testing pressure and valve integrity using industry-standard methods
  • Completing and submitting a certified test report to your local water authority
  • Providing a copy of results and recommendations to the property owner

If your device fails the test, we will provide expert repair or replacement to bring it back into compliance as quickly as possible.
