How does the Blackwater Alert™ System work?

This is how it works!
Watch this brief video demonstration to better understand how the Blackwater Alert functions when sewer or septic backup is occurring. The drain port with release valve gives the homeowner or plumber an access point to gently release pressure which controls messy blackwater spray and limits costly cleanup. Once the pressure is relieved, the plumber can easily remove the Blackwater Alert device and snake the blockage in the waste line.

Avoid Sewer or Septic Backup!
Typically, a property owner becomes aware of a backup when wastewater fills their shower pan, or spills from the toilet or sink into their home. This exposes the occupants to harmful bacteria, viruses and potential diseases, and also creates a perfect environment for mold growth.
