These kinds of videos are very helpful. However, so far, not one video, including this one, shows how to replace the yellow flapper if it wears out or for whatever reason, needs replacing.
These buoyancy base valves are designed to reduce the impacts of flooding. Sub seepage is expected, if you’re looking for a perfect solution visit kessel.com and view the Staufix FKA backwater valve.
They are actually pretty close to water tight. There is a black O-ring on the circular pipe that seals against the flapper. Most backup events are only a few PSI and they usually only last a few minutes to maybe an hour. Your also taking a 4” pipe that can move many gallons per minute of sewage into your basement and cutting it down to essentially the leakage of the valve. There are other ways that cut flow to zero, but they are expensive and complicated to maintain and have a pretty significant failure rate if neglected for a few years.
Groundwater around the valve is normal. It the groundwater is entering the home you likely need a sump pump. You can also consider an adapt-a-valve which offers groundwater protection. If you are looking for the best backwater valve system visit: www.Kessel.com
Groundwater can’t be avoided unless you have a backwater valve that is designed to keep out ground water. View the Staufix FKA by Kessel. Alternatively, you could consider having an exterior backwater valve installed, which would illuminate the problem altogether but for the highest reliability, the FK is your best bet.
A lot of what built up around the valve? Detrus? Detrious? Did you mean detritus? It's pronounced de-TRY-tus. You shouldn't use big words if you can't even pronounce them. I think 'junk' or 'stuff' would be more your speed. And that is a good demo of an inferior valve. Why anyone would choose this plastic junk I don't understand. Thank you.

How to contact abut the product?
That can't possibly be a water tight seal. It looks like you would still have some water/ sewage coming back through. Convince me otherwise.

What purpose does it is use for..??
Prevent sewer backup/ surcharge from a public sewer
how to avoid ground water near to backup value?

I can see is a real bad design in a check valve system 👎👎

Really… and what would that be ..?
