Specializing in Cross Connection Control and Backflow Preventors

A backflow test insures that the check valves and all moving parts work correctly,  In Order to test a device, the water MUST be turned off to everything the backflow preventor serves for about 5 minutes. 

Our backflow tests includes the test, filling out the paper work, submitting to the city, all truck and travel charges, shop supplies etc.

When a backflow preventor fails,  we will attempt to repair the device on site at the time of testing.  we will either clean the device of debris, replace rubber parts , or replace the internal check valves,  and retest the device.  Sometimes,  the device will not be able to be repaired, and we will provide a quote for replacement.

The City of Winnipeg Requires a testable backflow preventor on all commercial and industrial properties, as well as some residential properties directly after the water meter.  The City of Winnipeg  requires a form of cross connection control on all minor, moderate and severe hazards.  Not sure if you need one? ask us.

A backflow preventor is a check valve that does not allow water to flow back in the potable water systems due to back siphonage and/or back pressure.  A Testable backflow preventor is required on all moderate and severe hazards. 

Cost varies, it depends on the size of water pipe,  the piping around the device, and the type of hazard it protects.  Contact us for a free quote.  All of our installs include installation of the required device, the required permit, the testing, submitting the paper work, truck and travel charges etc.

The city of Winnipeg requires a backflow device be tested annually,  at the time of installation, and if the device is relocated.

Typically we book our tests and installs Monday - Friday, 8am - 4pm.  However, we understand that sometimes, with the water needing to be shut off, this isn't always an option, we are able to schedule around any time restraints.

A permit is required and all new or replaced backflow devices, The permit must be obtained by a licensed plumbing contractor, and the device must be tested by a licensed backflow tester.  Yes... we do both.
