A backwater valve acts as an essential barrier that allows wastewater to flow out while blocking it from re-entering. This simple device will save you thousands on repairs for water damage. The City of Toronto offers generous discounts to help offset the cost of installation, making it an accessible upgrade for homeowners who are eligible. Professional Toronto plumbers can assess your drainage system, recommend the best valve type, and ensure proper installation to comply with municipal standards.
