Why you need one
During heavy rain, municipal sewers can surcharge — pushing waste back into homes through basement drains and floor toilets. A properly installed backwater valve blocks that reverse flow, protecting your finished basement.
The install process
We saw-cut the basement floor, expose the main sewer line, install an inspection chamber with the valve, connect properly, backfill with the correct materials, and patch the concrete. Total time is usually 1–2 days.
Serving Markham neighbourhoods
Our Markham customers come from Markham Central, North Markham, South Markham, East Markham, West Markham and surrounding streets. Because our shop is in Concord, we're minutes away — not hours.
Common backwater valve installation questions
How much does a backwater valve cost installed?
Cost depends on floor thickness, access and pipe condition. Municipal rebates can offset a substantial portion. We provide a firm quote after inspecting your basement.
Do backwater valves need maintenance?
Yes — we recommend an annual visual inspection to make sure the flap is clean and moves freely. Our maintenance visit covers that.
Will it affect my plumbing?
No. Under normal use, water flows out just as it always has. The valve only closes when reverse flow is detected.
