I get backup coming out of the toilet, shower, etc in the basement when it rains HARD and the sewer just keep up with the water.
It's not just localized to my house but I suspect all the houses on the block. Couple of neighbors to the right or left of me, all have this issue.
For the 3 or 4" branch in the floor, if I gut it and put a DWV check valve in it, will this ultimately stop/prevent the backup that comes from the lowest point in the house...
Are there rough in access boxes - similar to access panels, that one uses for the floor, so that when you repour to to cover the pipe, the checkvalve is accessible ?
