The risk

A sewer backup is the messiest failure a basement can have

Calgary storms and aging clay lines both push sewage the wrong way. Roots, bellies and cracks build up quietly for years, and the first sign is usually raw sewage on a finished basement floor.

  • Gurgling toilets or floor drains
  • Slow drains across multiple fixtures at once
  • Sewage smell near the floor drain
  • Water pooling around the basement drain during storms
  • Older clay or cast iron sewer line

What we install and inspect

Two services that work best together

Backwater valve install

Code-compliant valve with a serviceable access cover, permitted and inspected.

Sewer camera inspection

High-resolution footage of your main line with locations and depths of any defect.

Line repair & clearing

Root cutting, hydro jetting and spot repairs when the camera finds a problem.

Our process

Clear steps, zero guesswork

Step 1

Camera

We scope the line and show you exactly what's there.

Step 2

Quote

Flat written price with the footage to back it up.

Step 3

Install

Valve fitted to code with a permit and city inspection.

Step 4

Restore

Concrete patched, site cleaned, valve operation demonstrated.

Why protect now

One day of work against a flooded basement

Stop city surcharges

The valve closes when the municipal main backs up.

See the real condition

Camera footage removes the guesswork from any quote.

Protect finished space

Developed basements are the most expensive rooms to lose.

Easier resale
