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. On average, the cost of installing a backwater valve ranges from $1,500 to $3,500. 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.
