Backwater Valve Installation Edmonton

Edmonton values its river system and understands the significance of a well-functioning water system. When spring hits, it will be accompanied by heavy rainfall and snowmelt, which in hefty amounts can cause flash floods and become too much for the municipal sewer lines. A city drain line at capacity can then cause sewer backup into your home, compromising your family's health and safety. To prevent this from happening, you can count on our Edmonton plumber for a professional backwater valve installation. Edmonton residents can rest easy knowing that they’ll be protected from potential sewage backups and other plumbing problems.

These protective plumbing devices can stop sewer waste from flowing back into your home. To eliminate the risk of sewer backup entering your home's plumbing system, you can depend on Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Edmonton for assistance with your backwater valve installation. Edmonton homeowners can rest assured that our professional plumbers have extensive training, unparalleled expertise, and dedication to our customers that you can rely on for your plumbing installation or backwater valve repair in Edmonton.

  • We understand the distress that homeowners experience when sewage backs up in their drains. Maybe you go to pour yourself a refreshing glass of water from the kitchen tap, only to find the sink isn’t draining. Not only is exposure to waste disgusting, but it also comes with a wide range of health concerns. Sewage contains harmful microorganisms, such as bacteria, viruses, and parasites, which we can all agree that exposure to sewage should be avoided whenever possible. That's why it's so important to have a backflow valve unit in place as a preventive measure. When opting for a backwater valve installation, Edmonton homes will have a reduced risk of raw sewage flowing back into the residential sewer drains.

    A backwater valve serves two important functions. First, it allows wastewater from your toilets, sinks and other plumbing fixtures to flow out of your home and into the city's sewer line. When flooding occurs, or the municipal water lines are overwhelmed, the backwater valve flap will close and prevent wastewater from flowing back into your home, and damaging the area where it backs up. Without a backwater valve installation, Edmonton residents run the risk of a sewer backup.

    In case you already have a device in place, but it appears to be malfunctioning, it's important to get our professionals in for a backwater valve repair. Edmonton residents can also count on Mr. Rooter Plumbing for periodic backwater valve maintenance.

Our Process for Backwater Valve Installation Edmonton

You may be wondering how the process works when you enlist our services for backwater valve installation in Edmonton. Well, we've put together a step-by-step guide to give you some insight into our installation services:

Inspection: First, our plumbers will inspect your sewer lines, so we can get a picture of your main drain’s overall health. To do this, we'll feed a small video camera on the end of a flexible rod to inspect your household drain lines. The camera is lowered into a sewer cleanout in the basement.

The footage from the camera will then show on a monitor, allowing our plumber to see the condition of the drains. The footage will show us any issues in your pipes such as old age, clogs, potential damage areas, etc. You are welcome to watch as well.

Cleaning and Preparation: After the inspection has been completed, we may suggest a sewer cleaning service to prepare the area for your backwater valve installation. Edmonton plumbers at Mr. Rooter Plumbing often use the HydroScrub® Jetting technology when a cleaning service is required. This method uses a high-pressure water jetting system to cut through clogs and rid the pipe of interior debris and obstructions.

Installation: The installation process requires us to access your drainpipe. We may need to do this by cutting into your home's concrete slab, but we'll do so with as little disruption to your home as possible. Once your sewer line has been located and exposed, we will proceed to install the device.

Note: There are different types of backwater valves, but rest assured that our expert plumbers will help you pick the best backflow prevention product for your needs.
