What is a Backwater Valve

A backwater valve is a backflow prevention device used to prevent outbound water through a dwelling’s drain pipes from re-entering — “back flowing”—into a home. The valve contains a flap that allows water to exit the home but closes to prevent the back flow into the home.

How Does It Work?

You are thinking how does the backwater valve. We will tell you how this work. This is an important piece for plumbing because it is very powerful, but also it is simple. The backwater valve allows you to shut off access to the main sewer, so that water, waste and more won’t be able to back up your sewer system.

Once the valve is shut off, then the water in the sewage won’t be able to enter your home. This is because it needs to get into main sewer line, which is doesn’t have access because of the valve. In addition, the wastewater that will drain to the main sewer line is disabled , which means it will not be filled up then.
