Backwater Valve
A backwater valve is a device that prevents sewage in an overloaded main sewer line from backing up into your basement.
It's crucial in protecting your home from basement flooding because since the Greater Toronto Area is in close proximity to the Great Lakes, increased humidity levels can lead to more drastic weather changes, such as flash storms in the summer - causing your home may be susceptible to basement flooding.

Sump Pump
A sump pump is a small pump installed in the lowest part of a basement or crawlspace. Its job is to help keep the area under the building dry and to prevent it from flooding. Usually, sump pumps are installed in specially constructed sump pits. Water flows into the sump pit through drains or by natural water migration through the soil. The sump pump's job is to pump the water out of the pit and away from the building so the basement or crawlspace stays dry.
Sump pumps have been a common fixture in some homes for years, primarily in low-lying areas or places where rapid melting of heavy snow can lead to flooded basements. Today, sump pumps are common in newly constructed homes.
