In Toronto, we experience severe weather conditions year-round, resulting in frequent water accumulation. Water accumulation significantly increases the strain on your drain and sewage system, perhaps leading to the reverse flow of gutter water into your home. This can result in unpleasant odours, the growth of mould, the presence of disease-causing microbes that can be transmitted through the air, as well as the development of damp basement conditions and potential floods. As Toronto residents, it is imperative that we leverage on the subsidies available and promptly install backwater valves in our homes. This measure provides us with protection against potential water damage and expensive repairs to the basement. A proper drain system helps retain property value as well.

It can also be required by insurance companies to insure your home. If your home does not already have a backwater valve installed, it would be a good idea to get one installed.
