Back Flow Preventer and Slice Valves

In most places it is the law to have a sewer back flow prevention device on your sewer system, everywhere else it's just the smart thing to do. Sewage backups not only cause damage that is difficult to repair, but also creates dangerous health hazards. A mainline backwater valve can save the day.

How does it work?

A backwater valve can be installed in the basement at the exit point from the home or building, or in the sewer lateral outside of the building. The "lateral" is the underground pipe that carries sewage from private property to the city's sewer main. The backflow valve is installed downstream and prevents sewage from backing up into the lateral beyond (above) this valve.

Backflow prevention valves should be inspected on an annual basis.

Plumbing performance is very important, but appearance is often what leaves the most lasting impression. This success can be attributed to the Bold Look of Kohler or even the Innovations from Delta. Precision Plumbing offers a full range of products and service to meet every budget and lifestyle
