'Water is the new fire'

Quote from the Ottawa Citizen

Water damage has surpassed fire as the leading cause of home insurance payouts, according to the Insurance Bureau of Canada, which is calling for a national flood mitigation strategy to manage the rising danger.

i'm worried that this abundance of snow could cause big problems for a lot of homeowners.

We are situated higher than most in our area so runoff isn't a problem....... sewer backup could be.

Maybe its time to install backflow valves?

Probably would not hurt to look into it.
