Backflow Valve Installation

Backflow preventers are essential devices designed to safeguard your home's potable water supply from contamination. In the absence of a functional backflow valve, fluctuations in water pressure can lead to the backward flow of contaminated water through the pipes, carrying harmful substances with it. At Plumbing Toronto, your trusted local plumbing service, we specialize in all aspects of backflow preventer valve services, from installation and repair to testing and replacement.
