Affida against Sewer Backflow and Flood Damage

A heavy rain or blockages to the drain pipe linking your house to the city’s sanitary system can result in this expensive, messy issue. A backwater valve is an important barrier, allowing the water to drain and prevents it from entering again. This device is simple and can save you thousands on repairs for water damage. Toronto provides generous rebates on the installation cost to make the upgrade cost-effective. Toronto plumbers can evaluate your drainage system and recommend the right valve. They can also ensure that it’s installed according to municipal standards.

Replace old pipes to protect Health and Property

They can lead to the possibility of basement flooding. Making the switch to more modern materials such as PVC or ABS will ensure durability and resistance to stress from the environment. The lead pipes that are still present in homes from before the 1980s can be equally alarming.

Removing lead pipes and replacing them with safer alternatives such as copper or PEX is a non-negotiable step for ensuring the well-being of your family and enhancing your home’s safety compliance.
