Although Mississauga enjoys a humid, continental climate similar to that of Toronto, its rainy season peaks in September. Stormy weather brings with it a downpour of heavy showers that can drench the outskirts of your home, including overwhelming your drains and possibly flooding your basement. This results in longstanding damage to your home’s foundation and impacts the structural integrity of your home.
But this can all be solved with Mississauga backwater valve installation. A backwater valve is a device that’s responsible for preventing raw sewage from overloading your main sewer line and eventually backing up into your basement. If your backwater valve happens to be busted it’ll result in a sewage backup. For example, wastewater won’t be readily expelled from your toilets, bathtubs, and sinks to the city’s sewage disposal system but instead, it’ll be upchucked in your home contaminating your interior extremities and personal belongings.
Avoiding this disaster is possible if you have a fully functioning backwater valve. Your local, licensed, and fully insured Mississauga plumber from Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Mississauga is well-equipped to perform backwater valve installation, as well as maintenance and repairs. Plus, some jurisdictions like Mississauga offer a backwater valve rebate. Mississauga homeowners who are eligible can claim up to $700 as a subsidy that encourages the safety and security of their homes against flooding.
