Backflow is the reversal / directional flow of water against normal movement and occurs when there is back pressure or back siphonage.

In accordance to the City of Toronto’s Water Supply By-law , it is mandatory for the protection and safety of the City’s drinking water for all property owners to isolate private buildings from the City’s water distribution system, helping to ensure contaminants from private property do not enter city drinking water systems.

In order to isolate buildings from the City’s water distribution system, a preventative device should be installed. If you are a property owner, condominium manager or superintendent responsible for the plumbing activity of a building with 5 or more units, this applies to you. Should you not know if you have a preventive device installed, please contact CES Plumbing to send our investigative team to examine your building.

A common challenge for multi-story buildings is the frequency of plumbing repairs. To minimize your cost in repairs it is recommended for all Landlords, Condominium Managers, Building Operational Staff and Property Managers to have high pressure flushing done annually. Being proactive in maintenance service areas keeps long term repair/replacement costs down. There are significant cost savings when you’re proactive and take preventative measures.

Believe it or not, there are major health risks that can manifest if you don’t have the right expert servicing your property. If not handled correctly, some small processes can lead to larger problems. Did you know, that keeping hot water tanks at 140 degrees minimizes bacterial growth, however, water existing valves cannot exceed 120 degrees. It’s such a small concern with such big issues if the right method and equipment are not used when installing domestic hot water mixing valve to facilitate this quick cooling process. With over 25 years of experience and a Master License in Plumbing our customer track record reflects our ability to keep our customers safe and satisfied.
