What is a Backwater Valve?
A backwater valve, also known as a backflow prevention valve, is a mechanical device installed in your plumbing system to prevent sewage or stormwater from flowing back into your home during periods of heavy rainfall or sewer system overload. It acts as a one-way gate, allowing wastewater to flow out of your property but preventing it from re-entering, thereby minimizing the risk of basement flooding and water damage.

How Does it Work?
The operation of a backwater valve is simple yet effective. When wastewater flows out of your home, the valve remains open, allowing it to pass through freely into the municipal sewer system. However, in the event of a sewer backup, caused by heavy rain or system overload, the valve automatically closes to block the reverse flow of sewage into your property.
The valve is equipped with a flap or gate mechanism that opens and closes in response to changes in water pressure. When sewage attempts to flow back into your home, the increased pressure triggers the valve to close, creating a watertight seal that prevents any further ingress. Once the threat of flooding has passed and water levels normalize, the valve reopens to allow normal drainage to resume.
