Have you received a warning letter from the City of Toronto, Region of Peel, Halton Region, Town of Markham or other municipality demanding that you test or install a backflow preventer or check valve at your commercial, residential, or multi-unit property? Are you concerned about the quality of your water supply, and want to protect yourself from the liability for cross-contamination? Do you need a backflow preventer device or flow control valve installed or tested, or a cross-contamination solution installed? If so contact us now.
Why did I get this letter?
All municipalities are working on safeguarding their drinking water by requiring that all residential, Commercial, Industrial and Institutional buildings have the proper protections in place on their incoming water lines. This is accomplished through the installation of backflow prevention devices. They are essentially water valves that let water pass only one way, into the building, and prevent interior building piping from flowing back into the city mains potentially causing contamination.
What is Backflow?
Backflow the undesired reverse flow of contaminants into the potable water and is typically driven by common, but unfavorable, hydraulic events in either the public or private water distribution system.
Backflow preventers are devices used to stop this from happening, and protects our drinking water lines.
