FAQ

Clear answers before work begins.

Does every basement need a backwater valve?

No. The recommendation depends on the private sewer connection, basement fixtures, backup history and local requirements.

Can an existing valve be serviced?

Often, yes. The access cover and internal components should be inspected before assuming the valve needs replacement.

Does a backwater valve need maintenance?

Yes. The valve should remain accessible and be inspected and cleaned according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
