Backflow Assembly Services in Burnaby
Backflow preventers protect your drinking water supply from contamination caused by back-pressure or back-siphonage — preventing potentially unsafe water from flowing backward into the municipal water system. Hippo Plumbing & Heating installs, tests, and certifies backflow prevention assemblies for residential, irrigation, and commercial properties throughout Coquitlam and Metro Vancouver.
Metro Vancouver requires annual testing and certification of backflow prevention assemblies connected to potable water supplies. Failure to comply can result in notices from your municipality.

Common Issues in Burnaby
Aging North Burnaby Pipe Systems
Pre-war bungalows in North Burnaby often have galvanized water lines causing low pressure and rust-coloured water. Copper or PEX repipe restores clean, full-pressure water delivery and eliminates the corrosion problem.
Highrise & Strata Plumbing
Metrotown and Brentwood area highrise condos require licensed plumbers familiar with strata building systems — from suite repairs to risers, pressure-balancing valves, and common-area plumbing.
Multi-Family Boiler Maintenance
Burnaby's aging mid-rise rental buildings frequently rely on central boiler systems for heat and hot water. We service, repair, and replace commercial boilers for building managers throughout Burnaby.

Common Questions About Backflow Assembly in Burnaby
Do I need a backflow preventer on my Coquitlam property?
Most irrigation systems and many commercial water connections in Coquitlam and Metro Vancouver are required to have certified backflow prevention assemblies. Residential properties with lawn irrigation, swimming pools, or certain plumbing configurations may also require them. Contact the City of Coquitlam or call us for a quick assessment.
How often does a backflow preventer need to be tested in Metro Vancouver?
Metro Vancouver regulations require annual testing and certification of most backflow prevention assemblies. Testing must be done by a certified tester. Hippo Plumbing & Heating can schedule your annual test and provide the required documentation.
What happens if my backflow preventer fails its test?
If your backflow preventer fails its annual certification test, it must be repaired or replaced before it can be recertified. We carry common repair parts and can often repair and retest on the same visit. We then resubmit the certification to the relevant authority.
How much does backflow testing cost in Coquitlam?
Backflow preventer testing fees in Coquitlam typically range from $150–$300 per assembly depending on size and type. We provide upfront quotes before testing begins. Call (604) 365-0812 for current pricing.
