Airdrie Backflow Testing

Backflow prevention device displayed - www.kaitechplumbing.ca - Calgary, AB

Affordable Backflow Testing & Prevention Services In Airdrie, Calgary, & Areas

Following a change in pressure, caused by events like a fire hydrant usage or pipe bursting, backflow occurs when water flows backward into the main water supply line. This can unfortunately cause contamination in the main water supply from human waste, pesticides or other chemicals. Backflow prevention devices make sure this never happens by only allowing water to flow in one direction.


KaiTech Plumbing & Heating is a certified Cross Connection Control Specialist and Backflow Tester. We install, test, and maintain backflow prevention devices, placed on both commercial and residential water supply lines, to ensure there is no cross contamination.


We perform backflow testing to ensure that:


  • The relief valves open when they should
  • The air ports in the backflow device open properly
  • The check valves are working to prevent backflow


To save you time, we will submit all necessary paperwork after completion and email you a copy of the sent report, so you don't have to!

What Is the Process When You Conduct A Backflow Test?

What To Expect When Your Backflow Device Is Tested

The testing of your backflow device must be performed by a certified backflow tester annually. KaiTech Plumbing & Heating in Airdrie, has qualified testers on staff to conduct tests, perform repairs, and certify the newly repaired device. The test requires temporarily shutting off the water, takes less than half an hour to complete and involves opening and closing the valves to identify any irregularities. 


If a problem is detected with the backflow device, we will provide you with the results of the testing and discuss what is wrong with the system. We take the time to fully explain the problem and any repairs that may be needed to ensure that your drinking water is protected. Our licensed plumbers in Airdrie provide the necessary repairs to fix any irregularities, so you are in compliance with all regulatory requirements.

Reasons you Don't Want Backflow In Your Home

Why Annual Backflow Testing Is Important

Many homeowners aren’t aware backflow can be a serious issue and therefore don’t consider it a threat. If your home plumbing system suffers from backflow, the chances of harmful substances entering your water supply increases significantly. 


Defective Backflow devices can result in contaminated water seeping into the main water supply system. 

Contaminates Can Include:

  • Human waste
  • Fertilizer 
  • Pesticide 
  • Chlorine from pools
  • Dish soap & detergent  


Don’t put the health of you or your family at risk. If you notice the water flow in your home has been interrupted, it’s a good idea to call a certified cross connection specialist to perform backflow testing services to make sure your water is safe for drinking, washing and bathing.

What Kinds of Properties Need a Backflow Prevention Device?

Backflow prevention systems are most often installed in commercial buildings; however, some residential properties are also required to have these systems in place—particularly if your home features cross-connections between your plumbing system and the municipal water line. Airdrie residential properties featuring the following systems will be required to install backflow prevention assemblies:


  • Irrigation Systems (lawn sprinklers)
  • Fire Suppression Systems
  • Pools or Ponds
  • Commercial-Grade Boilers (typically found in multi-family buildings)


These water systems mentioned above can potentially result in cross-connections and introduce contaminants such as chemicals, chlorine, pesticides, and even human waste into the community’s potable water supply. KaiTech Plumbing & Heating is here to help you install the right type of backflow prevention device to help your property remain in compliance with the City of Airdrie regulations. We can provide you with code compliant backflow devices, including:


  • Double check assemblies
  • Double check detector assemblies (fire suppression)
  • Lead-free reduced pressure principle assemblies (residential water lines)


If you currently have a backflow device, you can expect a notice from the city of Airdrie reminding you to schedule backflow testing; this is often mailed to you 30 days before the deadline. To ensure your home or business continues to comply with local regulations—contact us today at (403) 945-8324 to schedule service with our certified Airdrie Backflow Testers or fill out the form below.
