BACK WATER VALVE
Protect Your Home With Professional Back Water Valve Installation
A back water valve (also known as a backflow prevention valve) is a plumbing device installed in your main sewer line that prevents sewage from flowing back into your home during heavy rains or city sewer backups.
This is also called basement flood prevention, plumbing backwater protection, sewer backflow valve, or backwater valve installation.
By installing a backwater valve, you’re investing in long-term protection and peace of mind. This simple device helps prevent thousands of dollars in potential damage, reduces the risk of mold growth and health hazards, and may even help lower your home insurance premiums, as many insurers recognize its value in preventing costly claims. For expert installation and inspection, trust Marino’s Plumbing & Heating to keep your home safe and secure.

How a back water valve works:
A back water valve automatically closes if water or sewage starts to flow backwards in your pipes, blocking it from entering your home. When water is flowing out normally, the valve remains open.
You may need this preventative measure if you have:
- History of basement flooding or sewer backups
- Living in a low-lying area or floodplain
- Heavy rainfall or aging municipal sewer systems in your area
- Local bylaw or insurance requirements
- Mon To FRI: 09:00 Am To 05:00 Pm
- SATURDAY & Sunday : Closed
