  • Your sewer line is installed in a way so that it slopes downwards and carries wastewater away from your home. In normal conditions, the gravity of this slope is enough to prevent that water from coming back. If the city has experienced excessive amounts of rain or flooding, or if you have a clog in your sewer line, the backwater that's in your pipes will be forced back up the line and out your drains. A backflow valve stops this from happening. So, how does this essential installation service work?

    • Inspection: All of our services always start with an inspection. We're nothing if not thorough, and that means we need to have a complete understanding of your home's plumbing system before we begin. We'll perform a drain inspection or insert a video camera down your drain pipe if you have recently had a backup.
    • Preparation: In order to retrofit this particular type of valve, we will need to access your sewer line. This may mean jackhammering your home's concrete slab or digging.
    • Installation: Once the correct part of your sewer line is exposed, we can go ahead and install the backwater valve. You will have chosen the right valve for your needs from a selection of check valves, gate valves, and combination valves.
    • Cleanup: We will always clean up our mess. This may involve repouring concrete or backfilling soil.

Etobicoke Backwater Valve Installation FAQs

  • There are a few different name variations for a backwater valve, but they all mean the same thing. Also called backwater valves, backflow preventers, and backflow prevention valves, this essential component is a one-way valve installed on your sewer line. When you flush the toilet or run the sink, wastewater exits your home and goes into your sewer pipes. During a backup caused by heavy rain or a blockage, that wastewater can come back into your home.

    A backwater valve prevents that flow of water from returning through your toilets, sinks, shower drains, and basement drains during a sewage backup. It's one of the most important devices you can have in your home, as it can prevent basement flooding, costly water damage, furniture damage, and even electrical fires.

    Our backwater installation service involves retrofitting this device on your existing sewer line to help prevent sanitary sewage backup into your home. With that said, it's also a good idea to consider sump pump installation to create a full line of defence against water damage and flooding.
