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. Our TSBC-licensed technicians perform certified testing and provide all required documentation for submission.

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?

Metro Vancouver regulations require annual testing and certification of most backflow prevention assemblies. Testing must be done by a certified tester. Hippo Plumbing & Heating can schedule your annual test and provide the required documentation.

What happens if my backflow preventer fails its test?

If your backflow preventer fails its annual certification test, it must be repaired or replaced before it can be recertified. We carry common repair parts and can often repair and retest on the same visit. We then resubmit the certification to the relevant authority.
