Backflow occurs when water flows in the reverse direction, allowing contaminated water to enter a potable water supply. This typically happens during a drop in municipal water pressure, creating a serious risk to drinking water quality.
Municipalities across British Columbia, including Vancouver, require annual backflow preventer inspection and testing to protect public water systems. Otis Fire Protection is a trusted backflow prevention testing company providing certified inspection, testing, repair, installation, and annual backflow certification services for commercial, residential, and industrial properties.
If you are searching for backflow preventer inspection near me, our team of BCWWA certified backflow testers delivers compliant testing and documentation accepted by local authorities.
Properly functioning backflow preventers protect drinking water from contamination and must be inspected regularly to maintain municipal compliance.
Backflow prevention assemblies can degrade over time due to corrosion, debris, or mechanical wear. Regular inspections identify issues early and support compliance with municipal bylaws and provincial standards.
Forward flow testing verifies that a backflow preventer allows adequate water flow under system demand conditions. This test is required during commissioning and as part of annual inspection programs for commercial backflow preventer inspection.
Backflow testing cost depends on device type, system size, accessibility, and testing requirements. Commercial properties may require additional testing or reporting depending on municipal regulations.
