As our towns and cities continue to grow at breakneck pace, factories operating ‘round the clock to keep up with the demand for the items we use everyday and new restaurants opening on every corner block at every turn, water backflow and cross connection is becoming a ever growing concern.
Backflow is the flow of water from a high to a low-pressure area. It happens when there is a drop in pressure in the water distribution side (ie: city water supply) forcing possibly contaminated water from the private side into the potable city water supply.
A cross connection is any actual or potential connection between a potable water supply and any source of chemical, pollution or contamination. (ie: a hose left in a bucket of chemicals)
Backflow preventionstops the backflow/cross connection of possibly contaminated water from a private water system (ie: homes, business’, restaurants etc.) from entering into the potable city water supply.
Unfortunately, at this time it is not federally nor even provincially mandated, rather the programs are based on a township-by-township, city-by-city basis. So depending on where your business operates, you may or may not be subject to these new backflow codes.
Drain Right Now Inc. is fully licensed and insured to survey, install, and test backflow devices in most of the towns and cities in Simcoe and Muskoka. If you have recently received a notice from your city hall requesting a backflow cross-connection survey, we are happy to guide you through the entire process… so don’t delay, call Drain Right Now today!

I highly recommend Tyler and his crew. I had a difficult to diagnose plumbing leak that was flooding into my garage.After throughly examining my indoor system nothing was found. It was thought the problem originated with the plumbing stack on the roof. We had it investigated and repaired by a roofer. However on a bright dry day a few days later, the garage flooded again. It was clear the water was coming from somewhere inside the house. I called Tyler again and he sent one of his crew over. He kindly waived his service fee which we greatly appreciated. This time the issue was discovered. It turned to be caused by a minute crack in the toilets water tank which randomly leaked the odd time. It wasn’t a constant leak.

Tyler responded fast to my call and they came back when the problem need more attention. They got it done fast and professional they always offer excellent quality and excellent value. Even though its right around Christmas time and things are a bit tight. Tyler worked with us so we could have water with no problems over the holidays. We had Jamie replace our well pump and a new pressure tank along with a pump system re-pipe. I didn’t realise how much pressure I was missing till I took my 1st shower. I would recommend them with no hesitation. Thank you Jamie and Tyler

We have been using Drain Right now for years at our cottage in Muskoka. Not only are they the best plumbing service I’ve ever used, but I can confidently say that they are the best trade I’ve ever worked with. Often, the owner Tyler troubleshoots the problem for me without even coming out to see the issue. Last time this happened I had to force him to take a payment for helping me out. Not the usual money grabbing way of doing business in cottage country. I have referred Drain Right Now many times and got the same exact feedback from family and friends. Thank you so much for always taking care of our needs. I don’t usually review companies, but I felt inclined to do so. You don’t need another 5 star review, as most can see that your clients feel the same way about your service. Keep up the great work!

This team is amazing. Our sump pump broke and lots of rain in the forecast. I texted (so convenient) this morning the minute I heard an issue. Less than 3 hours later they were at our house working. They are considerate of your home as they work, they told us cost upfront and were spot on and they are super friendly.
Life saver and so reliable. Will use again anytime we need to as have so much trust in them and am so happy with the work.
Thank you thank you thank you !!

Back in 2016, Tyler did an excellent job installing our sump backup Jet Pump. A few weeks ago, I contacted Tyler about our 20 year old water softener and the issues that we were having. He recommended a Waterite replacement softener. His technicians arrived fully prepared and did an outstanding job installing the new softener and simplifying the plumbing spider web in the closet. It’s now much easier to manage the outside taps for winter. I also had him replace our leaky 20 years old garage water tap. The technician did the best soldering job that I’ve ever seen in my entire life. During the visit, they noticed that the shutoff valve by my water meter had been leaking. Tyler helped me work with the town to schedule the water shutoff and schedule a visit to replace it. Again the technician arrived fully prepared and coordinated with the town to turn the water back on. During this visit I had him replace the backyard 20 year old water tap and again his skills blew me away. The technician displayed outstanding customer service and the most impressive technical skill I’ve ever seen. Drain Right Now are simply amazing and I would highly recommend them to anyone.
