    basement flood from floor drain

    Yeah- that sounds good on paper. Too late - the basement already flooded. What a mess. I already called and she is dragging her feet. Meanwhile the sewage stink is rising. I have no intention of "fixing" this problem, just holding it at bay until either she fixes or we go to court and I move out.

    basement flood from floor drain

    Really- I was going to buy an expansion plug. I assumed the backflow valve would need to be outside nearer the street connection- not a job I am planning to tackle. The landlord is definitely not a DIY-er either and too cheap to spend the money...What would a BFV I can install above the basement...

    basement flood from floor drain

    I just moved into a rental house and found 4" water in the basement last week. heavy rains have probably flooded the sewers and there is apparently no backflow valve on the house. Now the drain is standing in water just below floor level and can't use the dishwasher, clothes washer, showers...
