"Kevin was prompt in arriving to fix my sink problem. He was very professional and extremely knowledgeable about what needed to be repaired. I was so relieved that he fixed the leaking sink issue with care and even explained exactly what needed to be fixed. His prices are very reasonable as well. I would highly recommend this company for any of your plumbing needs. Thanks again Kevin."

Backflow Assembly Installation & Testing in Coquitlam
Backflow preventers protect your drinking water supply from contamination caused by back-pressure or back-siphonage — preventing potentially unsafe water from flowing backward into the municipal water system. Hippo Plumbing & Heating installs, tests, and certifies backflow prevention assemblies for residential, irrigation, and commercial properties throughout Coquitlam and Metro Vancouver.
Metro Vancouver requires annual testing and certification of backflow prevention assemblies connected to potable water supplies. Failure to comply can result in notices from your municipality.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a backflow preventer on my Coquitlam property?
Most irrigation systems and many commercial water connections in Coquitlam and Metro Vancouver are required to have certified backflow prevention assemblies. Residential properties with lawn irrigation, swimming pools, or certain plumbing configurations may also require them. Contact the City of Coquitlam or call us for a quick assessment.
How often does a backflow preventer need to be tested in Metro Vancouver?

What happens if my backflow preventer fails its test?
