Poly-B Pipe Replacement in Edmonton
Clean drinking water is something most people never think twice about. But in complex plumbing systems, water can flow in the wrong direction due to pressure changes. When that happens, contaminated water from irrigation systems, boilers, or chemicals can enter your clean supply.
Backflow prevention devices are designed to stop this from happening and protect your property, your health, and the public water system.
At Handy Andy Plumbing, we install, test, and maintain certified backflow systems to ensure your property stays compliant and your water stays safe.


Backflow incidents can introduce harmful contaminants into your water, including chemicals, bacteria, and sewage. Even something as simple as a garden hose sitting in fertilizer can pose a serious risk if pressure drops.
Property owners in Edmonton are responsible for preventing these issues. If contamination originates from your property, you can be held liable.
Our team handles everything from installation to testing and reporting so you don’t have to worry about compliance or safety.
We install and test backflow systems correctly the first time.
We handle required testing and reporting to meet local regulations.
Clear guidance based on your property’s risk level.
We install proven, code-approved backflow devices.
Respectful service with minimal disruption.
Trusted by homeowners and businesses across the region.
You may require a backflow prevention device if your property has:
Irrigation or sprinkler systems

Commercial or industrial plumbing systems
Restaurants or food prep areas
Medical or dental equipment connected to water lines
Swimming pools or water features
If you’re unsure, our team can inspect your system and confirm what’s required.

Highly recommend.Posted on Rhett StensrudTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have used Handy Andy multiple times for both emergency and non- emergency calls. They have always been easy to work with and go above and beyond when they can. Always the first plumber I call in Edmonton.Posted on David WhiteheadTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I reached out to Handy Andy as my condo suite shutoff was leaking and asked if it was possible to get a better set of shut-offs and a set of secondary shut-offs installed. He sourced a higher quality set of shut-offs as opposed to just replacing them with the same set. He provided a proper quote, was familiar with our condo board procedures, reached out and coordinated with them in advance, and arrived on time. Both tradesmen were kind and knowledgeable. The work was executed promptly and professionally. Thanks again guys for your help with this.Posted on Viet NgoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have reach out to Andy to fix a water issue at my house. His response was quick and had me booked in about 2 days after my request! He was very prompt on letting me know that he was on his way to my house. Once he got here, he managed to resolve my issue in about 1 hour! What really stood out to me, was the fact that he took the time to really explain what the fix was instead of just saying he’s done. Can’t recommend this company enough!
