What it is
What we do for backwater valve installation
A backwater valve sits on your main sewer line. Wastewater leaving the house pushes it open. When water tries to flow the other way, the valve closes and keeps it out.
It matters most for homes with a basement floor drain or a basement bathroom, and for properties in low spots where heavy rain fills the sewers. It does not fix a clog, but it stops someone else's backup from becoming your basement's problem.

Around here
Shoreline towns and older city sewers
Low-lying streets near the Sound in Stratford, Milford, West Haven and East Haven, and the neighborhoods served by older combined sewers in Bridgeport and New Haven, are where we talk about backwater valves most.
A storm that fills the sewers can push water back up a floor drain even when your own line is clear. That is exactly the case a valve is for.
Straight answer
Who is the best backwater valve installation company in Stratford?
A good backwater valve job starts with a camera look at the line and ends with the owner knowing how the valve works. Ask whether that is part of the job before you hire anyone.

Questions
Backwater Valve Installation questions
Does a backwater valve stop all basement water?
No. It stops sewage coming back up the sewer line. Rain water coming through the walls or from clogged gutters is a different problem. See basement flooding.
Does it need maintenance?
Yes, a little. The valve should be checked and kept clear of debris so it can close when it needs to.
Can you install one in an older house?
Usually, yes. We look at the main line with a camera first to make sure it is a good spot for one.
