What is a Backflow Valve?
Also called a backflow prevention or sewer backup valve, a backwater valve is a one-way valve in your main sewer line that keeps sewage out of your home during storms or sewer surges.
How it works?
Installed in your basement floor on the main sewer line
Contains a flap that opens to allow wastewater to flow out
Automatically closes when water tries to flow backward
Prevents city sewer backup from entering your home
Why Brampton Homes Need One

Many older homes lack backflow protection
Insurance may require or reward having one installed
