Backflow Prevention

Protecting Your Water Supply, One Valve at a Time

Backflow occurs when contaminated water reverses into your clean water lines — posing serious health risks. Whether due to pressure changes or faulty valves, it’s an issue no home or commercial property can afford to ignore.

At Plumbing On Site, we specialize in certified backflow prevention, testing, installation, and repairs. Our technicians are fully trained to bring your property into compliance with all local and provincial regulations — helping you avoid contamination, fines, or costly shutdowns.
