What is a Backwater Valve (BWV)?

A Backwater Valve (BWV), also known as a Non-Return Valve (NRV), is a critical component in drainage systems, allowing wastewater to flow in one direction while automatically closing to prevent backflow during floods or sewer surges. Acting as a physical barrier between your property and the public sewer, it also helps prevent foul smells and harmful pathogens from traveling back up the drainage system.
