Backflow testing in Burnaby
Burnaby concentrates around three town centres — Metrotown, Brentwood, and Lougheed — and all three have been building towers steadily for years. That means a large and growing number of relatively new assemblies in purpose-built mechanical rooms, which is the easiest kind of backflow work there is when the building is organised about access.
The rest of the city is more varied. Still Creek and the Willingdon corridor hold office parks and light industrial. Big Bend, along the Fraser, is industrial and agricultural land at a scale most people do not associate with Burnaby. Burnaby Heights and the older apartment stock along Kingsway add retrofitted assemblies in buildings that predate them.
Properties We Test
Burnaby properties we work on
Town centre strata towers
Metrotown, Brentwood, and Lougheed residential high-rises, usually with accessible mechanical rooms and often more than one assembly.
Office parks
Still Creek, Willingdon, and Glenlyon buildings, including tenant fit-outs that added a device later.
Big Bend industrial and agricultural
Larger process, fire, and irrigation assemblies on the Fraser flats.
Institutional properties
Campus and institutional buildings, typically with several assemblies across a site and a facilities team coordinating access.
Mall and restaurant tenants
Food service inside and around the town centre malls, tested around trading hours where the landlord permits.
Older apartment buildings
Kingsway and Burnaby Heights walk-ups with assemblies retrofitted into existing service rooms.
How testing works in Burnaby
-
Send us the property
Call, text, or send the booking form with the address and, if you have it, a photo of the device or your municipal notice.
-
We test the assembly
A certified tester attends and completes the required test on every backflow assembly at the address.
-
Repairs, if the device fails
On newer Burnaby construction the common finding is commissioning debris fouling a check valve — annoying, but usually a same-visit clean and rebuild. Older retrofitted assemblies in the Kingsway and Heights stock are the ones more likely to need a part ordered in, simply because of their age. Either way you will know which situation you are in before we leave the site.

We file the paperwork
Reporting requirements vary by municipality. Eagle Eye submits the required test documentation through the applicable municipal reporting system on your behalf.
Local considerations
Burnaby’s newer towers are generally straightforward, and the thing that slows them down is not the plumbing but the paperwork around access — strata approval, a caretaker’s schedule, or a property manager who needs notice before a contractor attends. Give us the access contact when you book and most buildings are done in one visit without anyone from the council needing to be present.
Questions
Burnaby backflow testing questions
Our strata needs council approval before a contractor attends. Is that a problem?
Not at all — it is the norm. Book when you are ready and give us the access contact. We will coordinate the visit with the caretaker or manager directly.
How many assemblies does a tower usually have?
It varies with the building. Mixed-use towers frequently protect residential, commercial, and irrigation services separately. All devices at one address are tested in a single visit and documented individually.
Do you work with facilities teams on larger sites?
Yes. For campus and institutional properties we will work to your access procedures and provide documentation in the format your records require.
Is testing needed on an older apartment building?
If the building has a backflow assembly, it generally requires testing regardless of the building’s age. Retrofitted devices in older stock are common across Burnaby.
