A backwater valve is your first line of defense against sewer backups. When the city sewer system becomes overwhelmed during heavy rain or flooding, a backwater valve prevents sewage from flowing back into your property. Sewer & Water Pros installs, repairs, and maintains backwater valves for residential and commercial properties throughout NYC. Installation requires excavation to access your sewer line, proper valve placement, and NYC DEP compliance. This investment can save you thousands in potential flood damage.
