Company History

VC Backflow began in 2018 when John McFarlane, an industrial mechanic with more than ten years in the field, saw a local need for reliable backflow services. He started the company to address failures and to protect drinking water from contamination caused by reversed flow in irrigation and industrial lines.

Since then, the company has grown steadily. It added certified technicians, mobile testing equipment, and a simple process for clients to get timely results and records filed with water districts.
