Backflow Testing
Cantec Fire Alarms has certified technicians that can complete testing, repair, installation or replacement of backflow assembly devices. The Capital Regional District of Victoria B.C. mandates regular interval testing and inspection of backflow prevention devices to ensure proper operation, bylaw compliance and most importantly, community safety. During our Annual Fire Alarm inspections, we can ensure this testing gets completed to save you time and money, by not having to bring a separate contractor to your building. Our technicians are equipped with up to date, calibrated equipment following the recognized procedures outlined in the AWWA Canadian Cross Connection Control Manual.
Our technicians complete these forms electronically and promptly submit them to the local authority at the Capital REgional District. You will also receive a copy of this report along with your invoice and respective fire alarm annual inspection report. For a one stop shop, call Cantec Fire Alarms.
