Does the City of Maple Ridge require annual backflow testing?

Property owners with testable backflow prevention assemblies are required to have the assemblies tested annually by a certified tester and submit the test reports to the City of Maple Ridge Building Department.

Do you submit the required reports to the City of Maple Ridge?

Yes. After completing the certified backflow test, 123 Backflow prepares and submits the applicable test documentation to the City of Maple Ridge.

Do you provide backflow testing for agricultural properties and irrigation systems?

Yes. 123 Backflow provides certified services for agricultural operations, irrigation systems, commercial buildings, schools, strata corporations, healthcare facilities, restaurants, retail businesses and other Maple Ridge properties.

How long does backflow testing take?

Most backflow preventer tests take approximately 20 to 45 minutes per device, depending on the assembly's type, size, location, accessibility and condition.

How often should a backflow preventer be tested?

Testable backflow prevention assemblies in Maple Ridge must be tested annually. Additional testing may be required after installation, repair, replacement, relocation or other corrective work.

What happens if my backflow preventer fails?

A failed assembly does not always require complete replacement. Depending on its condition, it may be repaired using appropriate manufacturer-approved replacement components and then retested.

Can you repair the device during the same visit?

In many cases, repair and retesting can be completed during the same visit when the required parts are available and the repair is straightforward.
