Sudden heavy rainstorms or other changes in water pressure can cause water contaminants to flow back into your personal or community supply lines. This means water contaminants may end up in your drinking water, which can be harmful and cause illnesses. To prevent this, you can have a backflow valve installed into your sewage system, making it impossible for your sewage to flow back through your home’s intake pipes. This mechanism automatically closes when wastewater backs up into the wrong direction. Backflow valve installation can be done from inside or outside your house.
