Why Do You Need Backwater Valve Installation in Toronto?
At times, the city’s sewer system can become overcome during an excess of rainfall, and the potential for sewage backing up becomes great. A backwater valve installation has many benefits. The greatest is preventing sewage from being forced back into your home.
Essentially, drainage flows from your home to the sewer system, but if the system becomes overloaded and sewage flows the wrong way, a flap in a backwater valve lifts up to prevent sewage from entering your home.
Toronto Backwater Valve Installation
Installing a backwater valve in Toronto takes professional tradesmen, and we are your first choice. We cut a hole through the basement floor to get to the sewer line. A section of the sewer line is replaced with a portion of line with the backwater valve inserted.
We make sure that the valve is functioning properly, verify the line has the correct slope, and cover the new section with the maintenance cover freely available. As an added comfort, we also cut through any building permit red tape for you.
Backwater Valve Rebate Toronto
To entice more homeowners to install a backwater valve, Toronto offers a Basement Flooding Protection Subsidy Program. The city runs this program to entice homeowners to install a backwater valve and prevent damages due to sewer backups.
Toronto’s backwater valve rebate is for a maximum of $3,400 per property partially covering the cost of backwater valve installation, as well as sump pump installation, and terminating sewer connections. Homeowners can submit applications online, but installation must be completed by licensed professionals.
How Often Do You Need to Clean or Maintain Backwater Valve?
We recommend that you check your backwater valve at least once a year or more often in the case of prolonged wet weather. Due to the material passing through the line, long rubber gloves and work clothing is highly recommended.
After removing the cover, clear any debris from around the flap and make sure that it is moving freely. Check the floats around the flap for possible replacement, and verify the O-ring is providing a solid seal.
