Sewer Back Ups Can Cause Extensive Damage, A Sewer Check Valve May Solve The Problem
A Sewer Back Up Can Result In A Flooded Basement. A Backwater Check Valve May Be The Answer. In certain areas of the country a public sewer back up may cause a flooded basement. This back up can be due to heavy rains or over development in the area causing the public sewer system to become overburdoned. A malfunctioning city sewer and a high groundwater table are two other possible causes of a sewer back up.
As in all of these cases a sewer back up does not mean that the house sewer is defective or needs to be cleaned. Many times the solution to stopping a flooded basement from happening and stopping a public sewer back up is by installing a sewer check valve, also known as a backwater check valve. A sewer check valve is a one-way valve that automatically closes and only lets water out, not in, when water attempts to enter the house sewer system. A sewer check valve (backwater check valve) is a very simple and dependable device.
Removing dirt or debris from the flapper inside a sewer check valve is vital for it continue to work properly. Removing four screws with any number of simple tools provides access to the check valve, with maintenance only taking minutes.Very basic tools and very little skill is required to maintain a sewer check valve. A backwater check valve should be installed on the street side of the house trap, this is very important. By preventing a public sewer back up from ever reaching the house trap, there is no chance for sewerage to leak out of the house trap plugs.
Sewer line work should be performed by a licensed and insured plumber. Most reputable plumbers will have experience installing sewer check valves professionally and successfully for many years and have a long list of satisfied customers.
Here is what to expect when you call a licensed plumber to inquire about a sewer check valve due to a flooded basement issue from a sewer back up:
- A discussion of your sewer back up issue over the phone or a prompt response to any web site inquiry by an experienced sewer professional.
- A free on-site visit by an experienced field representative with no obligation whatsoever.
- You should receive a free written quote explaining the installation with no obligation prior to hiring for the installation of a backwater check valve by a licensed plumber.
What to expect from a sewer check valve installation from a licensed plumber:
- Work started and completed in one day with no sub-contracting.
- Many sewer check valve installations will include a new access pit with a matching fitted cover.
- Disturbed concrete is restored using a water proof concrete mix.
- Domestically produced materials are preferred when it comes to sewer work.
- Completed work sites should be left broom clean.
- Guarantees on work should be in writing.
- Installations should be completed at the quoted price.
- The end of public sewer back ups flooding your basement from your house sewer line.
Of all the different types of sewer repairs, this relatively simple installation has the potential to save thousands of dollars of damage caused by public sewer back ups. The cost of professionally installing a sewer check valve will probably be less than the damage from one public sewer back up.
