Backflow Testing in West Vancouver – Why It Matters
Backflow occurs when contaminated water flows backward into your potable water system due to a pressure change or mechanical failure. This can result in serious health hazards, which is why the District of West Vancouver requires backflow prevention assemblies to be tested and certified annually.
We understand the bylaws, timelines, and reporting requirements in West Vancouver—and we take care of the entire process from start to finish.
