The sanitary back-water valve is designed to protect basements from flooding caused by flooded sewers during severe weather events. Homes with a back-water valve installed can significantly reduce the risk of basement flooding and prevent damage to the home.
Why should I install a back-water valve?Installing a back-water valve can help decrease the incidence of basement flooding by reducing the risk of wastewater (sewage) entering your home. Basement flooding can happen during a severe weather event or if the City’s wastewater system reaches its maximum capacity.
