The #1 Plumber To Install Backwater Valves In Toronto & The GTA

What is a Backwater Valve?

When there’s substantial precipitation coming down in Toronto, the city’s sewer lines can get overburdened. When this happens, and the pipes are taking in more water than they can handle, the end result, unfortunately, can be water backing up into homes.

One potential method to prevent this water backup is through the use of a backwater valve. The valve is installed on your sanitary and/or storm line in order to prevent water from “back flowing” into your home.

A DrainWorks plumber can install an approved backwater valve or sump pump covered by the program. The backwater valve is installed on your sanitary and/or sewer line to prevent water from backing up into your basement.

Backwater valves should always be installed by a professional, licensed plumber and should be regularly inspected and maintained.

Basement Flooding Protection Subsidy

This subsidy program can help you lower your home’s flooding risk. In consultation with a DrainWorks® technician – licensed by the City of Toronto – homeowners may determine that a back- water valve on the sanitary sewage and/ or stormwater connection would provide sufficient basement flooding protection.

Available subsidy = 80% of the invoiced cost up to a maximum of $1,250 including eligible labour, materials, permit and taxes.
