Keep the flood
next door.

Most basement floods don’t start with a storm warning.
They start quietly — a backup forming in your sewer line,
water rising where you can’t see it, long before it reaches your floor.

By the time you know, the damage has already started.

Qixli Early Flood Detection monitors your sewer connection and alerts you the moment something’s wrong — giving your family time to act before disaster strikes.

Installed locally by Kodiak Security Systems — your Certified Qixli Partner in Ottawa.

Qixli Q2 Early Flood Detection System with components

The three ways your basement gets flooded

Your home has a backwater valve.
But that doesn’t mean you’re protected.
All the waste water from your sinks and toilets exits through your home’s main sewer line to the municipal system. When something goes wrong — in either direction — the damage can be severe. Here’s how it happens.
🚽
Scenario 1 — Self Flooding

Your valve sticks shut.

If your backwater valve gets stuck in the closed position, it blocks your home’s own waste water from flowing out. Sinks back up. Toilets overflow. The flooding comes from inside — and it can happen any time, rain or shine.
⚠️ Result: Self-flooding from your own plumbing.
🌧️️
Scenario 2 — City Sewer Backup

Your valve sticks open.

During heavy rain or a flood event, the city’s drainage system can be overwhelmed. Sewage reverses direction through your main line — and if your backwater valve is stuck open or fails, it goes straight into your basement.

⚠️ Result: Raw sewage enters your home from the city system.
🛡️
Scenario 3 — Qixli Protection

You get the alert first.

Qixli monitors conditions at your sewer connection in real time. Whether the risk is coming from inside your home or from the city system, you’ll know before the water does. Early warning means you can act before a backup becomes a disaster.

✓ Result: You’re notified early. You have time to act.

The technology

Installed right at your backwater valve.
Monitoring where it matters most.
Your backwater valve is the critical junction between your home’s plumbing and the city sewer system. It’s your last line of defence against flooding — and it’s buried where no one ever looks.
The Qixli Q2 installs directly on top of your backwater valve cover, replacing it with a fully integrated monitoring system. It watches for rising water conditions and valve status around the clock, from exactly where backup problems begin.
The moment water levels rise or conditions become dangerous — Qixli sends you a real-time alert. Not after the flood. Before it.
And here’s what most people don’t know: if your backwater valve isn’t regularly serviced and a backup occurs, your insurance provider may not cover the damage. Qixli doesn’t just warn you — it creates a record that can support your claim.

You don’t need an existing alarm system.

Qixli works completely independently of your home’s existing security setup. No security panel required. The Q2 connects directly to Kodiak’s monitoring team and delivers real-time alerts straight to your phone via SMS or email — the moment a risk is detected.


And unlike smart home devices that go dark when your internet does — Qixli keeps working even if your WiFi goes down. Because a flood doesn’t wait for your router to reboot.

Protection & Savings

Early detection doesn’t just save your basement.
It can save you money.
🏷️

You may qualify for a discount on your home insurance.

Many home insurance providers recognize proactive flood protection measures. Installing a monitored backwater valve detection system like Qixli can qualify you for a discount on your home insurance premiums. Talk to your provider — and let Kodiak help you document your protection.


Note: If a backup occurs and your backwater valve is found to be unserviced or malfunctioning, your insurer may deny your claim. Qixli monitoring helps demonstrate active protection of your property.
