In neighbourhoods like Cabbagetown, Scarborough, and Etobicoke, heavy rains and overloaded municipal sewers can cause costly sewage backup. At Waterproofing4Less, our expert backwater valve installation in Toronto ensures reliable flood protection and qualifies you for rebates up to $1,250. Shield your basement from contaminated water and enjoy true peace of mind.
From the Victorian homes of Rosedale to the high rise condos in the Entertainment District and the family houses of North York, Toronto’s varied architecture sits atop aging sewer lines and clay heavy soils prone to basement flood and water damage. Rapid spring thaws and summer downpours can push raw sewage into low lying properties—posing health risks and expensive repairs.
At Waterproofing4Less, our Toronto backwater valve installation services are fully city approved and built for long term reliability. We combine expert valve fitting with optional sump pump installation in Toronto and basement waterproofing in Toronto to deliver a multi layered flood control system. Plus, we help you secure the maximum municipal rebate, making sewage backup prevention more affordable than ever.
At Waterproofing4Less, we rely on premium materials and cutting‑edge technology to deliver
optimal performance:
We install top-performance sump pumps from trusted brands such as Zoeller or Liberty, ensuring efficient water removal.
Our systems include battery backup options and smart sensors to maintain operation during power outages—a critical feature for Toronto’s extreme weather.
We use infrared cameras, moisture meters, and drain cameras to detect hidden water intrusion and assess basement conditions with precision.
We strictly follow all local bylaws by conducting utility locates (for hydro, gas, Bell, Rogers, etc.) prior to excavation, protecting you from potential fines of up to $12,000.
Our installation process is designed specifically for Toronto’s unique challenges and includes
four streamlined steps:
Our licensed technicians perform a detailed on-site evaluation of your plumbing system, assess water table conditions, and handle all necessary permit applications to ensure a compliant installation
We excavate the optimal location and install a CSA-approved backwater valve. For high water tables, we install an exterior valve inside the building with concrete sealing; for lower water tables, we use our preferred full port (ball) valve—ensuring maximum efficiency.
We rigorously test the system under simulated heavy rainfall conditions, perform a thorough final inspection, and assist you in claiming municipal rebates of up to $1,250
