Dundas Street East Sewage Shield – Toronto Backwater Valve Case Study

Client:  Mr. and Mrs. Nguyen, Dundas Street East

Challenge:

• Recurring raw sewage backup into their basement suite after heavy rainfall
• No existing backwater valve—old clay drain line was prone to clogging
• Health hazards and unpleasant odors

Our Solution:

• Excavated a section of basement slab to access the main sanitary line.
• Installed a backwater valve with an external access panel for easy maintenance.
• Paired the valve with a ½ HP submersible sump pump (see our sump pump installation in Toronto) to manage groundwater intrusion.
• Sealed perimeter with interior waterproofing grout and applied exterior foundation membrane.

Result:

• Zero sewage or stormwater backflow in over two years—even during Toronto’s record June storms
• Basement humidity dropped by 60%, eliminating mold growth
• Neighbours in Hamilton and Mississauga booked our backwater valve installation and drain repair services after seeing the results.

Before any excavation, our Toronto team surveys your property—from the brick bungalows of Brockton Village to the mid-rise blocks in Yorkville—to map out sewer line depths, soil conditions, and optimal valve placement. This ensures your new backwater valve fits perfectly and performs reliably.
