What is a Backwater Valve and How do they work?

A backwater valve is a device that protects your home from flooding and sewage backup. It’s installed inside your home’s main sewer line. During normal use, the flap inside the device stays open to allow your waste water to pass down the sewer.

When sewage begins to back up from heavy rainfall or a sewage system overload, the valve inside the device automatically closes to save your home from costly damage.
