Backwater valve replacement

Questions to ask when repair may not be enough and replacement is being discussed.

Published · Updated · Backwater Valve Ottawa

Understand the reason

Replacement may involve the device, the access, surrounding pipe or restoration. Ask what failed, what is being replaced and whether the proposed work addresses the underlying observation.

  • What is the condition of the existing valve?
  • Is the existing location accessible for future maintenance?
  • What part of the scope is certain and what part depends on opening the area?
