Questions about sewer backup repair in Toronto

Is a sewer backup my problem or the city's?

It depends where the blockage is. Inside your property line is usually the homeowner's pipe. The plumber can camera the line and tell you which side the problem is on.

Will a backwater valve stop this from happening again?

A backwater valve stops city sewer water from flowing back into your basement. It won't fix roots or a broken pipe on your side. Ask the plumber which one you're dealing with.

What does it cost to use you?

Matching is free and there's no obligation. The plumber gives you an upfront flat price before any work starts.
