Stop sewer backflows and flood damage
The leading cause of basement floods in Toronto is sewer backflow. Backflow of sewers happens when the flow of wastewater reverses into the home. This costly and messy problem can be caused by an excessive amount of rain or a blockage within the drain pipe that connects your house to the city’s sanitation system. 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.
