Benefits of Installing a
Backwater Valve & Sump Pump

Backwater valves and sump pumps are integral to your home’s drainage system that help ensure your home stays dry. Having them installed is a preventative measure that could help you avoid severe water-related damage in the future. Here are some benefits associated with backwater valve and sump pump installation:

  • Eliminate the risk of mold: Water damage leads to mold growing in your home, which can cause health issues in the future.
  • Protect the structure of your home: Water seeping into your walls or pooling around your home (above or below ground), could lead to structural issues, causing settling, eroding, cracking, etc.
  • Increase the value of your home: Basement water damage is a problem many homeowners experiences. Having a functional drainage system is a great selling point for future potential buyers and will increase your home’s value.
  • Save money on collateral damage repairs: When water makes its way into your home, it can get absorbed into your walls, floors, carpeting, furniture, etc. Depending on the severity of the situation, these damages could be very costly.
  • Get peace of mind with IcyReno: With our expert installation, you can rest easy knowing your basement is safe from flooding, no matter the weather.

Frequently Asked Questions

A sump pump is a mechanical device installed in a sump pit or basin typically located in the basement or crawl space of a property. Its primary function is to remove excess water that accumulates in the pit, usually due to groundwater, rainwater, or natural drainage. The sump pump activates automatically when the water reaches a certain level in the pit and pumps it away from the property, ensuring the basement stays dry and preventing water-related damage.

There are several types of sump pumps, each suited for different needs:

  • Submersible Pump: These pumps are designed to be placed in the bottom (or sump) of a basin and operate when water reaches a certain level.
  • Pedestal Sump Pump: This type of pump is set up on a pedestal above the basin, allowing more room in the sump for solids and other debris.
  • Battery-Powered Sump Pump: This type of pump operates on a battery that needs to be charged periodically, usually via an AC power source.
  • Grinder Pumps: This type of sump pump links directly to the water main line. These pumps grind sewage and other waste materials into smaller particles before pumping them away from the home or building.
  • Combination Sump and Sewage Pump: A combination sump and sewage pump is ideal for areas where basement flooding frequently occurs or where sewage back-up is common.

A backwater valve is a device installed in your plumbing system to prevent sewer water from flowing back into your home during a storm or heavy rainfall. It works by automatically closing when water flows in the opposite direction, ensuring your basement stays dry and free of sewage backup.

Yes, even if you have a backwater valve installed, a sump pump can still be beneficial for your property. While a backwater valve prevents sewage backups, it does not address issues related to groundwater infiltration or surface water drainage. A sump pump complements the backwater valve by effectively managing excess water that accumulates in the sump pit, keeping your basement dry and protected from potential flooding.

Both a backwater valve and sump pump are crucial for flood prevention. A backwater valve stops sewer backups, while a sump pump ensures excess water is efficiently pumped away from your foundation. Installing both will protect your home from water damage and increase its value.
