Does the City of Surrey require annual backflow testing?

Most commercial, industrial, institutional, irrigation, agricultural and multi-family properties equipped with testable backflow prevention assemblies require certified annual testing as part of the City of Surrey's Cross Connection Control Program.

Do you submit the required reports to the City of Surrey?

Yes. After completing the certified backflow test, 123 Backflow prepares and submits the applicable test report through the City of Surrey reporting process.

Do you provide backflow testing for warehouses, commercial buildings, strata properties and industrial facilities?

Yes. 123 Backflow provides certified services for warehouses, industrial facilities, commercial buildings, strata corporations, healthcare facilities, educational institutions, restaurants, retail businesses, irrigation systems, agricultural properties and other Surrey 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 and condition.

How often should a backflow preventer be tested?

Testable backflow preventers are tested when installed, every year afterward, and after a device is repaired, relocated, replaced or otherwise altered.

What happens if my backflow preventer fails?

A failed backflow preventer does not always require complete replacement. Depending on its condition, the assembly may be repaired using appropriate manufacturer-approved 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.
