How We Handle Backflow Prevention Installation & Testing
Our process is structured to ensure full compliance, accurate testing, and long-term system reliability. From initial system assessment through certified testing and documentation, each step is completed according to Yukon municipal requirements and cross-connection control standards. We focus on precision installation, accurate reporting, and maintaining inspection-ready systems for residential and commercial properties.
System Assessment & Compliance Review
We begin by evaluating your plumbing system to determine the appropriate type of backflow prevention assembly required for your property. This includes reviewing system connections, potential cross-connection risks, municipal requirements, and pressure conditions. Our goal is to ensure the correct device type is selected and installed in accordance with local cross-connection control standards.
Certified Device Installation
We install approved backflow prevention assemblies, including reduced pressure zone (RPZ) devices and double check valve assemblies, using proper sizing, secure mounting, and code-compliant connections. All installations are completed according to manufacturer specifications and municipal plumbing regulations to ensure long-term reliability and compliance.
Professional Backflow Testing
Using calibrated differential pressure testing equipment, we verify valve operation, pressure integrity, and proper internal sealing. Testing ensures the device functions correctly under both normal and back-siphonage conditions. All inspections are performed according to recognized testing standards.
Documentation & Certification
Following testing or installation, we provide complete documentation required for municipal records, inspection approval, and compliance tracking. This includes signed certification reports confirming that the device meets required performance standards.
Complete Backflow Prevention Installation & Testing Services
We provide complete backflow prevention services including device selection, professional installation, annual certification testing, repairs, and compliance documentation. Whether your property requires a new installation, routine annual testing, or corrective repairs after a failed inspection, we ensure the system meets current cross-connection control standards and municipal requirements across Whitehorse, Teslin, and surrounding Yukon communities.
Backflow Device Installation
We install properly sized and approved backflow prevention assemblies designed to protect potable water systems from contamination caused by cross-connections and pressure fluctuations. Each installation includes secure mounting, proper valve orientation, isolation shut-off valves, and accessible test ports to ensure safe operation and future inspection access.
Devices are selected based on system type, hazard level, and municipal compliance requirements to ensure long-term protection and regulatory approval.
Annual Backflow Testing & Certification
Many properties in Whitehorse, Teslin, and surrounding Yukon communities require annual backflow testing to maintain compliance with cross-connection control programs.
We perform certified annual inspections using calibrated differential pressure testing equipment. Upon successful testing, we provide signed documentation confirming compliance. If deficiencies are found, we explain required corrective actions and complete necessary repairs to restore approval status.
We also provide clear documentation and testing records required for inspection, insurance, and municipal compliance.
Backflow Device Repair & Replacement
If a device fails inspection due to worn seals, internal valve failure, pressure imbalance, or corrosion, we provide professional repair or full replacement services. All repairs are completed using approved parts and proper calibration procedures to ensure the device meets performance standards before recertification.
Cross-Connection Risk Assessment
Before installing or testing a backflow prevention assembly, we identify where cross-connections may exist and how contamination could enter the potable water system. This includes reviewing hose bibs, irrigation tie-ins, mechanical room connections, boiler or hydronic systems, auxiliary water sources, and any equipment that connects to the municipal supply.
We then determine the appropriate level of protection required based on the hazard level of the connection and the type of system in place. This ensures the correct backflow assembly is selected, installed in the proper location, and remains accessible for future testing and certification.
Commercial & Irrigation Backflow Solutions
Commercial buildings, irrigation systems, fire suppression lines, and multi-unit properties often require specialized backflow assemblies designed for higher hazard classifications.
We install and service compliant assemblies for commercial plumbing services and light industrial applications, ensuring potable water systems remain protected from contamination risks associated with auxiliary water sources, irrigation connections, and mechanical systems.
