3 Benefits of Backwater Valve Installation in Richmond Hill, ON

1. Prevents Basement Flooding

During heavy downpours in Richmond Hill, your home is at risk of sewer flooding due to rain overloading the main sewer system. Installing a backwater valve stops sewer water from re-entering your home, preventing damage.

2. Save On Repair Costs

Without a backwater valve, your basement can suffer significant damage from water or sewage entering your home. This can affect your walls, floors, electronics, and valuables.

3. Insurance Discount

Installing a backwater valve in Richmond Hill can lower your home insurance premiums. Insurers see the valve as a protective measure against sewer backflow, potentially reducing your rates.

Backwater Valve Installation And Uses

Backwater valve installation in Richmond Hill can be easy if done correctly. First, the drainage technician must inspect your waste pipes to determine the most appropriate location for the valve installation to occur. Depending on where your home is located, installing a backwater valve may require a permit.

Remember, backwater valves are installed in different areas of your home’s piping system, including the basement and other low-level rooms, to prevent wastewater from flowing back into the house. Whether in your current home, or one under construction, we can assist you with your backwater valve installation.

How A Backwater Valve Works?

In case the main sewer line becomes overloaded, the backwater valve prevents the waste from flowing back into your home through the pipes they leave from.
Within the backwater valve, there’re two tiny flaps that open so wastewater flows out of your home and helps to vent sewer gas out of the house. Attached to the two flaps of the backwater valve are small floating devices that close the folds when the system detects any sewer backflow. Once the backflow stops, gravity forces the waste to return back into the sewer rather than entering your home.

How Much Does it Cost To Install a Backwater Valve?

The cost of installing a backwater valve in Richmond Hill can vary based on several factors such as the type of valve, the location of the valve, and the complexity of the installation. Usually, the cost of installing a backwater valve is $1,700. This includes the cost of materials and labor. However, in some cases, the cost can be higher or lower depending on the specific circumstances of each project. It’s best to contact a professional plumbing company such as MT Drains & Plumbing for a more accurate estimate tailored to your specific needs. Our team of experts will assess your situation and provide you with a detailed quote that takes into account all the relevant factors.

MT Drains & Plumbing Reviews

Roman T.Roman T. ★★★★★ Professional and reliable service, knowledgeable staff and polite attitude. Would highly recommend and will use MT Drains & Plumbing LTD in futureJesse I.Jesse I. ★★★★★ Pavel and his team always get the job done properly and fast.Simon S.Simon S. ★★★★★ Update on Dec 17 2024:A toilet in our house came away from the floor in a way that broke the flange it was bolted to. I called MT Drains because they had done a fine repair job in our kitchen a few months earlier (see below). Viktoriya in the office was very friendly & helpful in getting us a cost estimate in a timely fashion and setting up an appointment to fix the problem that fit our schedules. We received email confirmation and reminder of the appointment, and a text confirmation on the morning of the appointment itself. The technician, Amir, arrived a few minutes before the start of the window for the appointment, which I always appreciate a lot! He was friendly, polite and professional. He assessed the repair requirements, confirmed the estimate, and completed the job in a timely manner. Amir also cleaned up everything and even took the garbage away with him. Viktoriya followed up shortly thereafter by phone to check that we were pleased with the job, and then sent the invoice to me for the agreed amount. She also confirmed that they received our payment right away. I’ve used MT Drains’ services for plumbing issues before and will happily use them again!The drain from our kitchen sink was leaking near the place where it attached to the sink itself. The reason turned out to be corrosion that was rotting away the place where the drain pipes attach to the sink.Pavel from MT Drains responded to my Trusted Pros posting within minutes, and was able to have a plumber come that very day. Dima arrived within the agreed time frame. He was polite, friendly, efficient and very skilled at diagnosing the problem and making the repair by replacing the corroded parts. He also cleaned up after his work.Viktoriya in the office was also very helpful and professional - the entire operation was fast, efficient, effective, friendly and professional.
