Potable water flows under pressure through municipal supply lines into residential and commercial properties. However, sudden hydraulic pressure fluctuations—such as a nearby water main break, heavy municipal fire hydrant use, or internal pipe freezing—can trigger a reverse flow known as backflow. When this occurs, contaminated water carrying industrial chemicals, grease, bacteria, fertilizers, or heavy metals can siphon backward into the public drinking water system.
Under the Ontario Building Code and municipal cross-connection control bylaws (such as Peel Region By-law 10-2017 and Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 851), commercial facilities, industrial units, and multi-residential complexes must install, test, and maintain approved backflow prevention assemblies annually. Failure to provide certified test records can lead to municipal violation notices, steep administrative fines, or temporary suspension of water services.
Calibrated precision differential pressure gauges verifying internal check valves. Our certified testers inspect double-check valve assemblies (DCVA), reduced pressure principle assemblies (RP), and pressure vacuum breakers (PVB). We test relief valves, check springs, and shutoff valves under dynamic pressure, apply official tamper-evident test tags, and upload compliance reports directly to municipal tracking portals.
Fast restoration when an internal valve fails calibration. If a relief valve discharges or a check valve fails to hold required differential pressure during an annual test, you don't always need an expensive total unit replacement. We carry factory rebuild kits to replace worn rubber discs, diaphragm seals, and tension springs on-site, followed by immediate re-testing.
Engineered assemblies matched to your facility’s specific hazard level. Whether setting up a new restaurant, dental clinic, automotive bay, or retrofitting an older commercial plaza, we calculate supply requirements and install high-grade bronze or stainless steel assemblies fully compliant with CAN/CSA B64-10 standards.
Detailed property mapping to uncover unprotected water contamination risks. We survey irrigation lines, boiler feed loops, chemical mixing tanks, dental chairs, and fire suppression systems to map potential contamination routes and advise property managers on proper containment strategies.
Choosing our specialists for backflow prevention Mississauga property managers depend on ensures zero downtime and absolute regulatory peace of mind:
When you receive your annual testing reminder from the City or Peel Region, we schedule an appointment that avoids interrupting your regular business operating hours.
Using calibrated test kits, our certified technician measures differential pressure across all check valves, ensuring each internal component seats firmly against back-pressure.
Upon passing all functional parameters, we affix an official municipal compliance tag indicating the test date, tester license number, and calibration results.
We generate the certified test report and electronically submit it to your local municipal water authority (e.g., Peel Region Water Division), sending you a digital receipt for your facility records.
