Sewer Backwater Valves
During the normal course of action, the water from your Toronto home flows into a sewer in one direction. However, during regular sewer maintenance, or back-ups due to severe rains, the wastewater can flow back into your home. This is when a device called a backwater valve comes in – it prevents the wastewater flowing back into your home.
The City of Toronto actually requires you to have a backwater valve. In order to facilitate the installation and to make sure that they are working properly the City of Toronto administered a special subsidy called New Basement Flooding Protection Subsidy Program.
With this subsidy, you can get up to 80% of the invoiced cost (up to a maximum of $1,250) including eligible labour, materials, permit, and taxes. However, only a city-licensed plumber can do the work in order to be eligible for the refund. If you try to install the valve yourself and it results in damages the city can’t be held liable. That’s why you should always call a licensed plumber to get the job done right the first time.
Dr. Pipe Drain and Plumbing are licensed by the City of Toronto and all of our work is eligible for this subsidy.
Plumbing Testimonials:
Vladirmir, Richmond Hill
Dealing with Dr. Pipe was one of those rare experience when you feel good paying your money. They responded immediately to my phone call and within an hour were at my place. After a quick no obligation analysis they identified source of the problem and offered economical solution. I agreed and in no time our drain worked like it is supposed to. Max was very service oriented and defensibly knows his stuff. I am recommending them to all of my friends and family now.
Anna, Richmond Hill
Rains were crazy last falls and my basement got flooded. I was desperately looking for a company that will waterproof my old home in Toronto for a reasonable amount of money and do it right. Dr. Pipe Drain and Plumbing did just that, they started by telling me to relax on the phone and by taking care of my problem very quickly. They installed new weeping tiles around my house and since that time there was not a single drop that landed in my basement. Thanks guys!
Frank, Beaches
I used Dr.Pipe Drain and Plumbing to renovate all the plumbing in the old house I bought in the beaches. They were able to identify problems quickly, resolve them and prevent them from ever happening again. All of my neighbours suffer from leaking basements and no water pressure, but not to me thanks to this crew. I would recommend them to anybody.
Helene, North York
My husband and I hired Max and his team to upgrade pool mechanical room in our house. Everybody who gave us an estimate, before them said it was very complicated and will cost at least $80000. Cost of HYDRO and Natural Gas and maintenance with old mechanical room was $2500 per month. Max’s team was able to upgrade the systems in pool mechanical room for way, and I mean way lower that quoted by others and we only pay couple of hundred dollars per month now. I am so glad we called them before making our final decesion.
