Residential

Protect residential properties from backflow and flooding. With the right check valve, the risk of water from overloaded wastewater and stormwater systems entering the property can be reduced.

When water flows the wrong way, the damage can be extensive

During heavy rainfall or when wastewater and stormwater systems are under high pressure, pressure in the pipe network can increase and cause backflow. Water may then be forced back through the pipes and enter basements, for example, causing costly damage to buildings and property.

With the right check valve, water can flow in the intended direction under normal conditions while backflow is prevented. This provides automatic flood protection and reduces the risk of water damage in both houses and apartment buildings. The solutions can be used in both new and existing properties.

Which solution is right for protecting homes against flooding?

The choice of backflow protection depends primarily on whether stormwater or wastewater needs to be handled and where the protection will be installed.

WaStop Inline Check valve protects houses and apartment buildings against backflow in stormwater pipes. The flexible membrane opens to allow water to flow in the intended direction and closes automatically in the event of backflow. The check valve can be installed in both new and existing stormwater systems.

WaBack Non-return chamber is suitable for residential properties where wastewater may flow back through the pipe network, for example into basements and other low-lying spaces. Its normally open design allows free flow under normal conditions and closes automatically in the event of backflow.

    WaBack Residential saves family’s basement from flooding

    Peter was advised to install a WaBack Residential, which is a backflow preventer, specifically designed for homeowners. WaBack Residential protects against flooding by automatically shutting off, preventing water from flowing back into the sewer system.

    WaBack Residential was installed shortly after the 2022 flood and Peter felt safer knowing that he now had protection against future floods.

    After the installation, Mantorp was once again hit by heavy rain and flooding. This time, Peter and his family, unlike many of their neighbors, survived thanks to the installed WaBack Residential backflow preventer. The backflow preventer worked exactly as promised and protected their home from once again suffering the devastating consequences of a flood.

    Peter is now a very satisfied customer. The successful installation of WaBack Residential has not only saved his home from further damage, but also given him and his family a sense of security that is invaluable. The initial investment has proven to be more than worth the cost, and Peter expresses his gratitude for all the advice and the quick handling he received from the team at Wapro.

    "So nice and what a fantastic product," says Peter."
