City connection & Backflow Testing

City connection & Backflow Testing

The water flowing to your property should only be traveling in one direction – if it’s not, you have a problem on your hands. Luckily, Dhillon Bros Paving can help you solve it.

When your city water connection is working correctly, water flows in one pipe and out another. That way, clean water never comes into contact with water waste leaving the washroom, dishwasher, or sink. However, sometimes pressure changes can cause the flow to reverse sending dirty water back in and contaminating your supply in an occurrence known as backflow.

Because of the severe health risks of contaminated water, water lines are equipped with backflow prevention devices designed to stop water from flowing in the wrong direction. However, these devices are not infallible and over time, they can become worn or damaged and require repair or replacement.

Signs you may be having an issue with your backflow prevention system or city connection can include:

• Discoloured water (brown, yellow, or grey)
• Visible sediment in your clean water
• Bad tasting water
• water has a noticeable sulfur smell
• Low water pressure
• Slow draining

Backflow testing assesses how well your backflow prevention systems are working. Our experts will examine the backflow prevention device, looking for any signs of leaks, movement, or other damage. If a problem is found, we can quickly implement a solution. No one should have to take chances with the health and safety of their family.
