Backwater valves can be installed in the basement of your home at the exit point, or in the sewer lateral outside of the building. By installing a backwater valve, the homeowner is reducing their exposure to the possibility of backflow, the dangerous and toxic reversal of water-flow caused by a sudden drop in water pressure or by flooding.
Flooding has been in the news of late, and many a homeowner in a flood zone wishes they had backwater valves to protect their home and family.
Don’t get caught with raw sewage in your basement, and don’t assume your city is taking care of your protection. Be proactive, call City Backflow Testing, and have backwater valves installed today.
