Backflow Testing Airdrie

Backflow Test Airdrie - www.kaitechplumbing.ca

Affordable Backflow Testing and Prevention Services in Airdrie & Rocky View County

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.

 

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

A backflow test requires temporarily shutting off the water and involves opening and closing the valves to identify any irregularities. The entire process typically takes thirty minutes to complete if there are no pre-existing issues with your device. After completing the testing of your backflow device, we will fill out a report and submit it to the city. 


If there are any issues with your backflow device, we'll take the time to fully explain the problem and discuss any repairs that may be needed to ensure that your drinking water is protected. Our cross connection control experts can provide the necessary repairs to fix any irregularities so you are in compliance with all regulatory requirements.


If you need a backflow prevention device installed, maintained, repaired, or replaced, turn to KaiTech Plumbing today. We offer comprehensive Airdrie backflow prevention services throughout the area. Let our Airdrie plumbers help take care of your home! 

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.

Complete Backflow Prevention Services in Airdrie, AB

Installing a backflow prevention device requires access to the sewer line, as well as advanced training. If the backflow preventer is improperly installed, the device could not only fail to protect against backflow, but it could also obstruct the proper flow of water. If you want to properly protect your home against backflow, you should trust our team to handle your device installation for you.


Backflow prevention devices also need to be tested annually. Waste can accumulate on the valve over time, and can cause it to become fixed in the open or closed position. Annual maintenance ensures that the device is working properly and is free of any obstructions.


Contact our team at 403.945.8324 for expert backflow prevention services in Airdrie and the surrounding areas.

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 to schedule service today at 403.945.8324.
