Backwater Valves

What would you do if your sewer line or drain line were to backup into your home? Chances are, you would be furious. Not only are you dealing with a huge mess that is unsanitary, but it can take forever to clean this up. However, did you know that there is a simple way to ensure that your sewer line does not come back into your house? This is with a backwater valve!

What is a Backwater Valve?

A backwater valve is often referred to as a backflow or even sewer backup valve. This is going to be installed on the sewer line and is meant to make water aka sewage only flow one way in these pipes…which is outside of your home! When you are dealing with a sewer line, several times, heavy rains can make these lines start to backup, and you do not want to take the chance of your home becoming damaged due to the water coming back into your home.

In most cases, a newly built home is going to have backwater valves installed on the lines already. That is because many locations require these to be installed before the final inspection can happen on a home. However, for older homes, these backwater valves may not be installed. If they are not present, the current lines can be outfitted with these valves. It is a wise purchase to make for the homeowners, as cleanup if the sewer line were to run back into the home can be expensive and time consuming.

Is a Backwater Valve Permanent?

Yes, this is a permanent type of product. However, that does not mean that there cannot be issues with the backwater valve. These issues usually only occur if the valve has not been properly maintained. Proper maintenance simply means checking from time to time that all the water and sewage is flowing out of the house like it should. Since these are installed with a clear top, you should be able to spot any issues before they become major.

If you do see issues, then be sure that you call a professional plumber to deal with these issues for you. You do not want to mess with sewer lines when you do not know what you are doing. This could lead to even more problems that are extremely messy. A professional plumber in Toronto is going to have the proper tools to do this with minimal cleanup.
