Non-Return Valves
Some of the most practical flood prevention techniques that we use are non-return valves. Every now and again, it is possible for heavy storms to cause standing water and flooding water within the main sewer pipes. This can cause backwash and flood water to enter your property through toilets, sinks and shower drains.
This can be difficult to deal with if you aren’t already aware of the risk. Aside from suffering through a flooding property, a system’s propensity for flooding can be discovered by a detailed CCTV drain survey. These surveys can be used to identify all kinds of potential problems and vulnerabilities in your system.
The most effective solution to resolve flooding caused by heavy rainfall in your drains are non-return valves. These hard-wearing and long-term valves will be installed within your drainage system. As their name suggests, they will allow water and waste to flow one-way through your drains. Thanks to their intelligent design, they will be able to prevent water and other material from flowing back up your drains.
How Do Non-Return Valves Work?
Non-return valves are an effective means of flood prevention. They are hinged in one direction, allowing them to allow water and waste to flow through the system. In the event that flooding causes the water to move backwards, these valves will lock in place. This can create an effective, water-proof seal.
The presence of these non-return valves in the system will stop water and waste from flowing back through the system. This is one of the most effective ways of preventing flooding from your drainage system.
What are the Benefits of Non-Return Valves for London and Hertfordshire Properties?
