Frequently Asked Questions About Sewer Backup: Cambridge 

Is a permit required for installing a backwater valve for my sewage backup in Cambridge?

Yes, a building permit is mandatory for any backwater valve installation or plumbing work on your sewer system in Cambridge. Over 50% of Cambridge’s sewers are separated, and new installations must comply with local and provincial plumbing codes. When you hire us, however, we’ll be responsible for obtaining any permits needed for you through the City of Cambridge Building Department to prevent delays and ensure a thorough, compliant job is carried out from start to finish.

What are the common causes of sewage backup in Cambridge?

Sewage backups in Cambridge are frequently caused by tree root infiltration, grease buildup, aging pipes, and heavy rainfall overwhelming the city’s sewer system. In fact, in 2021, Cambridge discharged 50 million gallons of sewage-contaminated water due to storm events. Avoid flushing wipes, grease, or bulky items down the toilet and consider annual professional inspections, especially for older homes, from plumbers you can trust at Hy-Pro Plumbing & Drain Cleaning.

Does my homeowner’s insurance cover damage from sewer backup in Cambridge?

Standard homeowners insurance typically does not cover sewer backup, and you will need to add optional sewer backup coverage, which protects against cleanup, damage repair, and lost belongings. We suggest confirming coverage details with your insurer and updating your policy annually, especially if your home has a basement.

How can I prevent sewage backups in my Cambridge home?

To prevent sewer backups in your home, we recommend installing a backwater valve, keeping drains free from grease and debris, scheduling regular inspections, and disconnecting weeping tiles from the sanitary system. The City of Cambridge recommends backwater valves for all below-roadway fixtures, with active sewer separation and stormwater tank projects in progress. Check for city rebate programs for flood protection devices and maintain trees to prevent root intrusion.

What are the health risks associated with sewer backup?

A sewage backup can introduce dangerous pathogens into your home, significantly increasing the risk of acute gastrointestinal and respiratory illnesses. Studies report a 2.9-fold higher risk of gastrointestinal illness following spring sewer backups in Ontario. When you have sewage backup, immediately call professionals for cleanup, sanitation, and repairs, if needed, and never enter standing sewage water.

Who is responsible for repairs if the plumbing problem is in the city’s main sewer line?

If the blockage is in the city-owned portion of the sewer system, Cambridge Public Works will address the issue at no cost to the homeowner. The city investigates and resolves dozens of main-line backups annually across residential neighbourhoods to ensure residents’ plumbing systems don’t suffer on their dime. Always let the city determine responsibility before spending on repairs in Cambridge, and keep the city’s contact information handy.

Are there rebates or financial assistance for flood protection or sewer backup devices?

Cambridge periodically offers rebates for the installation of backwater valves and other flood-protection devices through municipal or regional programs. In fact, regional flood prevention programs have helped hundreds of Cambridge homeowners offset installation costs since the 2010s. Monitor the City or Region of Waterloo websites for new rebate announcements and eligibility requirements, and ask our local plumbers for further information.
