Backwater Valve Installation
Help prevent municipal sewer flow from backing up through a building’s drainage system.
Help protect your property from sewer backup
A backwater valve is designed to close when wastewater begins moving in the wrong direction. We assess the drainage layout, install or replace suitable valves and keep the access point serviceable for inspection and cleaning.
Every call starts with a careful assessment. We explain what we find, outline the sensible options and complete approved work with respect for your property.
Drainage assessment
We review the building drain and site conditions to determine whether a backwater valve is appropriate and where it can be installed.
Installation and replacement
The valve is fitted in the proper orientation with an accessible cover for future inspection and maintenance.
Ongoing maintenance guidance
Owners are shown where the valve is located and why the flap and chamber must remain clean and unobstructed.

Helpful Answers Before we arrive
Have a question about your specific system or situation? Call our Tillsonburg team for straightforward guidance.
What does a backwater valve do?
It allows wastewater to flow out normally but is designed to close if sewage begins flowing backward toward the building.
Does every home need a backwater valve?
Not necessarily. Suitability depends on the drainage system, flood risk, local requirements and whether the valve can be installed without affecting other fixtures.
Can plumbing be used while the valve is closed?
No. Wastewater cannot leave the building while the valve is closed, so fixtures should not be used until the sewer condition clears.
Do backwater valves require maintenance?
Yes. The access cover, chamber and moving flap should be inspected and kept clean so the valve can close properly when needed.
