Keeping your home safe from water damage is super important, and installing a backwater valve can help a lot. This small device stops sewage from backing up into your home, especially during heavy rains or sewer issues. Not sure if you need one? Here’s how to tell.
A backwater valve is a one-way valve that gets installed in your home’s main sewer line. It lets wastewater flow out of your home but blocks it from coming back in. It’s pretty useful during storms or floods when sewer systems are overloaded.
Sure, installation can cost a bit, but it’s way cheaper than handling a flooded basement. Also, some cities offer rebates to help with the cost which makes it an affordable choice.
A backwater valve might be a small investment, but it’s totally worth it. It protects your basement and helps you avoid expensive repairs. This eventually boosts your home’s value. If any of these signs sound familiar, it’s time to get one installed. Call Bradshaw Plumbing to discuss your options and protect your home from water damage today!
