Backwater Valve Installation

Backwater Valve Installation Toronto

A backwater valve prevents sewer backflow from coming back into the plumbing of your restaurant, apartment complex, business, or office. Typically, this sewage water will happen when the sewers are overburdened by heavy rainfall or a period of massive snowmelt. The last thing you want for your restaurant is to have sewage water come up your kitchen floor drains and contaminate your food, dishes and drinking water. Nor do you want raw sewage coming up into a tenant’s bathroom if you are a landlord owner. The cleanup costs associated with the sewer backflow in each scenario are expensive as the water that comes up may be dirty and full of bacteria, debris, viruses and parasites. 

As the water can no longer drain into the sewage system, it has nowhere to go but up through your floor drains and pipes. This can lead to raw sewage getting on your floors, walls, countertops and furniture, which is incredibly unpleasant.

Fortunately, there’s a simple solution to prevent the disastrous backflow of sewage water into your business, and that solution is installing a backwater valve. With a backflow valve, you get an instant solution. Because water can only flow in one direction with a backwater valve, water can’t flow back up your drains and pipes.

Contact Citizen Plumbing in Toronto today if you are concerned about the risks of sewage water coming up through your pipes and into your business. We will inspect your backwater valve and can install a new backwater valve if necessary.

Frequently Asked Questions

If you have a plumbing emergency, it's important to call a professional plumber right away. We know it's not what homeowners want to hear, but by calling in emergency plumbing services near you, you can actually save tons of money in the long run. This is a common problem we see often: Homeowners not addressing plumbing issues in a timely fashion. Unfortunately, this usually leads to more costly plumbing repairs down the road.

Plumbing emergencies can include burst pipes, severe leaks, and clogs that cannot be removed on your own. In some cases, they can even lead to flooding causing water-related damages.

The best practice is to stop water use immediately and shut off the main water supply to the home until a professional plumber arrives. If the water leak is clear you can use rags or a mop to soak up the water and try to contain the issue.

If the water is sewage-related it may be best to leave it to the professionals. It is also wise to speak with your home insurance provider to see what services or repairs they cover if you are not aware.

There are many reasons to work with a 100% commission-free plumber. Perhaps the most important reason is that you can be assured that they are not trying to upsell you unnecessary services or products. Because they are not on commission, they have no incentive to do so.

To prevent clogged drains, try using a drain hair catcher for showers and bathtubs, use a fat jar in the kitchen to collect cooking oils and grease, and never flush wipes down the toilet as they do not break down the same way toilet paper does. For tree roots, you can hire a plumber for annual maintenance, or upgrade to a plastic pipe that cannot be infiltrated by roots. 

If your drain is slow or clogged, you may be wondering if you should call a Toronto plumber for a drain cleaning. While there are some DIY drain cleaning solutions, like using a plunger, in most cases it's best to leave drain cleaning to the professionals.

The last thing you want to see is your basement flooding. If your basement floor drain or sewer is backing up, it's important to take action quickly to prevent further flooding and water damage. The first step is to call a plumber near you, then try to identify the cause of the backup. If you can connect certain water usage to the backup, stop using that plumbing until the professional plumber arrives.

Whether it is beneficial to replace or have a faucet repaired depends on many factors such as age and model. Replacing or upgrading a leaking faucet may cost more on the front end but it comes with more security in that you aren’t spending multiple times on the same repairs that don’t stick vs a replacement with a warranty.

There are a few different ways to waterproof a basement. In general, however, the best way to waterproof a basement is either from the exterior or the interior. Exterior waterproofing involves excavating the area around the basement, installing a drainage system, and then applying a waterproof coating and membrane to the exterior of the basement foundation walls.

Internal waterproofing of a basement is to install of an interior drainage system that will collect the water that seeps through the walls and floor and channel it to a sump pump, which will then pump the water out of the basement.

In the event of a wet basement, it is always advised to start with a waterproofing consultation by waterproofing companies in Toronto to determine the best course of action.

Increasing your home's water pressure can actually be done (especially in Toronto), however, you need the assistance of a licensed plumber. They can replace your home's main water line to current standards which should increase both your cold water and hot water levels and pressure, although it should be mentioned that the hot water is also regulated from your hot water tank/water heater as well.

Your home is filled with plumbing, from toilets to faucets to pipes. If your plumbing is acting up, it is recommended to leave it to a plumbing professional.
