City requirements
Cross-connection control in Richmond Hill falls under a municipal by-law along with the Ontario Building Code. How often you test, who may test, and how results reach the City are all set locally and can be updated, so check current terms with the City of Richmond Hill or on the notice you received. We use a certified tester and hand you the paperwork to send in.
If no one has ever surveyed your building for cross-connections, we can walk it with you and flag spots where an assembly may be needed.
Your questions, answered plainly
How long will our water be shut for testing?
For one assembly, usually well under an hour start to finish. Big or multiple units take longer.
What if our assembly does not pass?
We show you which check failed, price the rebuild kit or replacement, and test again after the fix.
