Backflow Prevention Device Installation

Protect Your Water Supply with Certified Backflow Installation

Installing a backflow prevention device is one of the most important steps in safeguarding your drinking water from contamination. Whether required by law or simply as a precaution, proper installation ensures your system meets municipal and provincial safety standards. At Backflow Testing Vancouver, we specialize in the installation of RPZs, DCVAs, PVBs, and AVBs for residential, commercial, and industrial properties throughout Vancouver, BC.

What Is a Backflow Prevention Device?

A backflow prevention device stops contaminated water from flowing backward into the clean water supply. This is critical when a property's water system is connected to potential hazards like:

  • Lawn irrigation systems
  • Fire suppression systems
  • Commercial dishwashers
  • Boilers or heating systems
  • Industrial processes using chemicals

Without proper protection, pressure changes in your plumbing can cause back-siphonage or backpressure, putting drinking water at serious risk.

Who Needs Backflow Device Installation?

In Vancouver, BC, a backflow prevention device may be required by city regulations if your system poses a risk to the public water supply. You may need installation if:

  • You’re building a new home or commercial property
  • You’ve added a sprinkler, irrigation, or fire system
  • You failed a city compliance inspection
  • You're upgrading or replacing an outdated assembly
  • A plumber or city inspector recommended it
