Oakville Basement Flooding Prevention Subsidy

Prevent basement flooding and sewer backup with Anta Plumbing and Oakville

The sewer lateral carries waste water from your home to the municipal sanitary sewer system. From there, water is directed to the municipal wastewater treatment plant. Sometimes, small cracks and leaks form in the sewer lateral pipe – it is natural. However, tree roots may infiltrate the small cracks in the pipe, pushing them bigger. This can cause blockages and poor drainage. When the sewer lateral is damaged, wastewater will prevent adequate flow of wastewater away from your home to the municipal sewers.

Sewer lateral backups can cause the sewer water to flow back into your home.

It can cause basement flooding and it can damage to your property.
