During heavy rains or rapid snowmelt, excessive water enters our sewer systems, forcing some of the sewage to go backwards in the line. This can send sewage back into your home through your sinks, toilets, shower, bathtub, or washing machine. Additional situations that can cause sewage water to run back into your home include:
If you live in an area with a high risk of water backup, a backflow valve is a must. Many insurance companies will adjust their rates based on whether or not you have a valve installed in your sewer system. You might even be asked to install a backwater valve before changing or renewing your policy.
Therefore, installing one before you run into any issues with your insurance company is best.
BACK WATER VALVES
When the backwater valve closes to prevent sewage backflow, water cannot flow out of your house either. While the valve is closed, it is essential that you do not flush your toilet or run any water in your home. That wastewater won’t have anywhere to go, so using a toilet or sink during this time could result in a flooded basement.
Installing a backwater valve requires professional intervention. A licensed, qualified plumber will need to cut a hole in your home’s foundation to reach the sewer line, remove a section of the sewer line, and install the backwater valve. Your valve must also be professionally maintained to ensure it works properly. At Cardinal Home Services, our plumbers offer annual backwater valve maintenance as part of our Cardinal Care Club maintenance program.
