Backflow System
Having a backflow device in place means that you are safeguarding your drinking water against contamination from contaminated water backflow. There are different kinds of backflow systems, and there are different types of backflow (which include backpressure and backsiphonage).
If there is a drop in the main water line, it can lead to backsiphonage. This means that anything that is disgusting in your water, including contaminants such as manure, pesticides, and fertilizers could backflow into the water supply. This is not something that you want to have happen.
The different types of backflow systems
There are many different kinds of backflow systems. This can help reduce issues in residential sprinkler systems. We will go over the different choices, that way you know what is available for you.
- Vacuum breakers – These are particularly effective for guarding against This cannot be used during issues with backpressure. The two different types include the pressure vacuum breaker (PVB) and the atmospheric vacuum breaker (AVB). It is possible to combine an number of different breakers, which means that you have the best of both worlds.
- Pressure devices – The pressure vacuum breaker can open up again after having sustained long periods of continuous water pressure. This protects against backpressure and backflow. Installation is difficult and requires a great deal of technical expertise, which leads to many people requiring backflow systems service. Because it needs to be tested every year by a backflow technician, you can understand that this is not something that you can just do yourself.
- Hose connectors – The hose connected to the potable water supply can include spray nozzles, sprinkler attachments, and other options. However, these can only be used in coordination with an approved hose connection vacuum breaker. You will not typically see these in residential places, primarily because they guard against insecticides and other problems.

Plumbing Testimonials:
Anna, Richmond Hill
Rains were crazy last falls and my basement got flooded. I was desperately looking for a company that will waterproof my old home in Toronto for a reasonable amount of money and do it right. Dr. Pipe Drain and Plumbing did just that, they started by telling me to relax on the phone and by taking care of my problem very quickly. They installed new weeping tiles around my house and since that time there was not a single drop that landed in my basement. Thanks guys!
Vladirmir, Richmond Hill
Dealing with Dr. Pipe was one of those rare experience when you feel good paying your money. They responded immediately to my phone call and within an hour were at my place. After a quick no obligation analysis they identified source of the problem and offered economical solution. I agreed and in no time our drain worked like it is supposed to. Max was very service oriented and defensibly knows his stuff. I am recommending them to all of my friends and family now.
Frank, Beaches
I used Dr.Pipe Drain and Plumbing to renovate all the plumbing in the old house I bought in the beaches. They were able to identify problems quickly, resolve them and prevent them from ever happening again. All of my neighbours suffer from leaking basements and no water pressure, but not to me thanks to this crew. I would recommend them to anybody.
Helene, North York
My husband and I hired Max and his team to upgrade pool mechanical room in our house. Everybody who gave us an estimate, before them said it was very complicated and will cost at least $80000. Cost of HYDRO and Natural Gas and maintenance with old mechanical room was $2500 per month. Max’s team was able to upgrade the systems in pool mechanical room for way, and I mean way lower that quoted by others and we only pay couple of hundred dollars per month now. I am so glad we called them before making our final decesion.
