Professional backflow preventer testing, installation, repairs, and annual inspections across Toronto, Mississauga, Etobicoke, Halton, Peel, Markham, and the GTA. Ensure compliance with Ontario regulations and keep your drinking water safe with fully licensed and certified specialists.
Backflow prevention devices protect your potable water from contamination by stopping the reverse flow of polluted or hazardous water into the clean water supply. Commercial, industrial, institutional, and certain residential buildings are legally required to install and maintain these devices under Ontario regulations. Because backflow can occur suddenly and without warning, having a properly functioning device in place is critical for keeping your building’s water safe, maintaining compliance, and avoiding costly fines.
Annual testing of your backflow prevention device is mandatory in many Ontario municipalities, including Toronto, Mississauga, Richmond Hill, Oakville, Halton Region, Peel Region, and Markham. Our certified plumbers perform full system testing to verify that your device continues to operate correctly and meets all by-law requirements. We provide detailed reporting, submit all required documentation to the appropriate municipality, and ensure compliance so your business continues to operate without interruption.
Choosing the correct backflow preventer depends on your building type, water usage, and hazard classification. In Toronto, moderate-hazard facilities typically require a Double Check Valve Assembly (DCVA), while severe-hazard facilities require a Reduced Pressure Principle (RP) backflow preventer. Our experienced team evaluates your plumbing system, determines the correct device required by law, obtains any necessary building permits, and installs your backflow preventer in full compliance with municipal codes and industry standards.
If your backflow device is leaking, failing inspections, or showing signs of wear, timely repairs or replacement are essential to avoid contamination and meet regulatory requirements. We diagnose issues with all device types — including DCVA, RP, PVB, and SVB units — and perform repairs using approved parts and procedures. When replacement is necessary, we provide fast, safe installation with minimal disruption to your building’s operations. We also assist with backwater valve services if sewer backup protection is needed.
Installing a backflow prevention device almost always requires a building permit. Absolute Draining & Plumbing manages the entire permitting process for you — from paperwork and municipal submissions to arranging inspections. We have extensive experience working with Toronto, Mississauga, Etobicoke, Oakville, Markham, Scarborough, North York, and surrounding municipalities. Our team ensures every installation meets local by-laws, preventing delays, fines, or failed inspections.
