What To Know Before Installing A Backwater Valve
Sewage on a ground floor or in a basement is a mess. Hiring a professional plumber to install a backwater valve not only prevents sewers from backing up but may also make you eligible for a rebate. A mainline backwater valve can help you avoid sewage in an overloaded main sewer line from backing up as the valve will automatically close if sewage backs up from the main sewer.
It is essential to hire an established plumbing company, such as Totally Awesome Plumbing Services, because it’s the safest way you can be sure that the right valve is installed. An experienced plumber knows the various types of sewer backwater valves available and will help you choose the right one and ensure it is installed correctly.
What Exactly Is A Backwater Valve?
A backwater valve is also known as a sewer backup valve. It is installed on your sewer line to allow sewage or water to flow in one direction – out of your house. The city sewer lines can become overloaded, causing water or sewage to flow back towards your home. If you have installed a backwater valve and have a sewer system backup, sewage will not be able to flow back in your house. Backwater valves can be retrofitted into an existing home or installed in the initial new construction.
They feature a simple ball or a flap that automatically closes and blocks out sewage when it tries to re-enter your house. When there is a backup, the gate automatically shuts off the sewer line.
A backed-up sewer is not a plumbing issue to ignore. If not repaired in time, it can cause health problems, property damage, and inconvenience your daily activities.
