Direct Waterproofing - Experts at Backwater Valve Installation in Toronto!

A backwater valve is an extremely important installation that will prevent your home from coming under damage from sewage backflow, which can be caused by flooding, a lack of water pressure, and other reasons.
If sewage flows back up your pipes for any reason, rather than draining away into the sewage mains like it is supposed to, then you could end up with a mess in your basement, and an unhealthy and unwelcome damage from the backflow. A Backwater valve installation prevents this from occurring.

How does a backwater valve work?

A backwater valve works in a very simple but effective way, and is an important part of a safe and functioning drainage system.
The installation includes a built-in drainage slope, and a flap. When water is flowing away from your home like it should, the flap stays down and lets the water out as usual. In the event that water starts to backflow up your pipes, the flap floats up to block the sewage. When the disaster has been successfully averted, the flap opens up to its normal position again.

Toronto Basement Protection Subsidy Program

The City of Toronto offers a Basement Flooding Protection Subsidy Program program that can help homeowners to have the right flood protection in place, including backflow prevention valves. They offer a huge subsidy of up to 80% off the total cost, up to the value of $1250 for backflow valve installation or replacement.

Do you need Backwater Valve Installation?

The subsidy program is in place because residents in Toronto are particularly at risk to damage from severe weather and floods. Not all homes need backwater valve installation. However, many do, and this is especially true of houses set on a slope, or on the flats.

If you have ever noticed any signs of sewage backflow, such as drained water coming back through your pipes and into your basement, then you really need a backwater valve to prevent any further problems. Sewage backflow is a risk to health.

However, you don’t have to wait until damage occurs to get a backwater valve installed. It is better to act now, and to take advantage of the huge subsidy that is on offer.

If you have any doubts as to whether you need a backwater valve, we can check your water pressure and risk of backflow.

I recently had a leak in my basement that caused severe flooding any time there was rain and it was even worse after snow melted. I called Direct Waterproofing and they had someone at my home within a couple of hours to take a look at the problem. The tech that I spoke with was very professional and knowledgeable. The next day their crew was there and the problem was fixed very quickly. I was very impressed with the level of service I received from Direct Waterproofing.

Mary Roloff

Direct waterproofing is truly great at what they do. I turned to them when my window well leaked. They arrived on the same day, immediately suggested a way to solve the issue, and gave me a breakdown of the necessary supplies. Everything was made very clear. It's been 2 months since they fixed it, and there have been no more leaks.

William Jefferson

I've recently had the misfortune to receive a call from my downstairs neighbours about ceiling leakage after I left on vacation last year. My trip would be ruined without direct. Thankfully my sister was able to let them in and the leakage was stopped promptly.

Maeve Rempel

These guys are professionals, they did a good job waterproofing the basement in my cottage. The project manager was always checking on the site, making sure things go smoothly.
