First Mechanical offers professional backflow prevention services in Edmonton and surrounding areas to protect your water supply from contamination. Backflow happens when water flows in the wrong direction, potentially pulling pollutants or hazardous substances into your clean water system. Whether you manage a commercial property, run an industrial facility, or own a home, reliable backflow protection is critical—and often legally required.

What is Backflow and Why Does It Matter?

Backflow occurs when there’s a sudden drop in water pressure, causing contaminated water to flow back into the clean water system. This can introduce chemicals, bacteria, or other pollutants from irrigation systems, boilers, or industrial equipment into your drinking water.

To prevent this, a backflow preventer is installed—essentially a one-way valve that ensures water flows only in the correct direction. Without proper prevention, your property may be at risk for contamination and in violation of local plumbing codes.
