Backflow Prevention Testing in Lindsay, Kawartha Lakes

Your first call when there’s poop on the floor.

Preventing backflow is essential if you have a lawn irrigation system, a hot water heating boiler or even a swimming pool at your home or business in Lindsay, Kawartha Lakes or the surrounding areas.

The last thing you want is chemical runoff like lawn fertilizers, boiler sediment or chlorinated pool water flowing back into the community’s drinking water. That’s why installing and regularly testing your backflow preventer isn’t just the neighbourly thing to do—it’s an essential maintenance task. In fact, there are specific rules for the installation and testing of backflow prevention devices for different systems in Kawartha Lakes’ homes and businesses. Not sure when your last backflow prevention testing was completed? Call the pros at Eastman Plumbing.

Backflow prevention testing protects everyone’s water.

When there is a potential crossover between contaminated water and the city’s clean, potable water supply, there should be a backflow prevention device in place. From lawn sprinkler systems to fire suppression lines, if your plumbing system experiences a drop in pressure, the backflow prevention device is triggered, stopping the water from reversing and flowing away from your home and back into the public water supply. Regular backflow preventer testing and maintenance are necessary to ensure your devices are working properly and the community’s water is safe.

Plumbing systems that may require backflow prevention testing include:

  • Irrigation or Sprinkler Systems

  • Fire Suppression Systems

  • Boilers

  • Swimming Pools

  • Water Softener Systems

  • A Well (if it is connected to a city supply)

If you have any of these plumbing systems and aren’t sure when your last backflow test was completed, call the pros at Eastman Plumbing. We can answer your questions, inspect and test your backflow prevention devices, and schedule regular testing according to your municipality’s regulations.

Let us help you stay compliant with backflow prevention testing regulations so you can stop problems before they start—and avoid paying fines.

If you have backflow prevention devices installed, it is your responsibility to ensure they are tested and maintained regularly.

Without regular backflow preventer testing, you risk:

  • Sending contaminated water that could make people sick back into the city supply

  • Missing the signs of potential plumbing problems

  • Incurring fees or fines for failure to comply with municipal regulations

  • Unnecessary stress and worry for you and your family

Working with qualified, professional plumbers like Eastman Plumbing is essential to meet city backflow prevention testing guidelines. Failure to test your backflow devices and have a qualified plumber submit the necessary reports can result in late fees and fines. Stay one step ahead of the game.
