What is a Mainline Backwater Valve?

Benefits of Installing a Backwater Valve:

  1. Prevents Sewer Backups
    Stops sewage from flowing back into your property during heavy rains or municipal sewer overflows.
  2. Protects Your Property
    Reduces the risk of costly water damage, mold growth, and property loss.
  3. Insurance and Cost Savings
    Many insurance providers offer discounts for properties with backwater valves installed, as they reduce the risk of flood-related claims.
  4. Eco-Friendly Solution
    Helps prevent contamination of your home with harmful sewage.
  5. Increased Property Value
    Adds value to your home by enhancing its flood protection system.
