Based on statistics, experts predict that intense rain storms will become more common in the province of Ontario. That being said, Homeowners may be able to reduce the negative impact that can be caused due to the predicted increased rainfall. When heavy rainfall is present, various types of basement flooding can occur. A very toxic and hazardous type of flood that can occur in a Homeowners residence is a flood caused by the back up of sewer wastes. By installing a backwater valve onto your sewer system you can reduce the risk of a sewage flood from occurring in the basement of your residence. 

It is proven that backwater valves can be an effective way to stop  wastewater from backing up into your basement however, they must be installed properly  and some backwater valves need more ongoing maintenance than others, which is why Safe Sanitary Systems recommends a backwater valve alarm for the backwater valve. The purpose of a backwater valve alarm is to alert the Homeowner when there is a blockage present; this way the Homeowner can easily clear the blockage so that the valve can operate properly and continue to effectively serve its purpose.

Before installing a backwater valve, the Region of Peel recommends that Homeowners use the guidelines below to make the correct decision for their residence. 

Please  review the information listed below to verify the eligibility requirements. One of Safe Sanitary Systems Valve Locators can assist in inquiring with the Region of Peel to confirm your eligibility for this rebate program. 

You are eligible for the Sanitary Backwater Valve Rebate Program if:

• You have reported previous rain storm based basement flooding to the Region of Peel, can provide proof of a flood-related insurance claim or live within an area prone to flooding  (according to Regional records). For proof of a flood-related insurance  claim, a Homeowner should ask their insurance company for an "Experience Letter" that lists the claim number, date of loss and type of event.

• You have not received a subsidy from the Region of Peel through previous basement flooding remediation programs.  

The program requirements include:
