frequently asked questions
What is a backwater valve and how does it work?
It’s a one-way flap that lets wastewater flow out, but shuts tight if sewage tries to come back in. It’s your defence against sewer backups from the city line.
Can I use water if the valve is shut?
No. Water use should stop during a backup or it could flood inside your home. Wait until it reopens.
How often should it be checked?
At least once a year and after big storms. We clean, inspect, and ensure it’s watertight.
Does it stop 100% of sewer water?
If installed and maintained properly, it will block most backups. But if it’s clogged or damaged, small leaks can occur.
Is there a rebate for getting one installed?
Yes! Most Ontario cities offer $1,000–$1,250 rebates. We handle permits, paperwork, and ensure eligibility.
