Having a hard time finding a solution on this problem of a toilet overflow on a ground floor. I am not having sewage backup (which is the only overflow I am seeing discussed online) into the toilet but my toilet overflows during monsoon type rains.
My patio and roof downspout goes into the same drain outside. What appears to be happening is that the patio and roof is draining so quickly down the drain during heavy rains that on its way out to the front of the house to the sewer line it will cause my toilet to gurgle, sometimes siphon out, or worst case overflow. The toilet is on the ground floor in the middle of the house.
Is there any solutions or ideas to remedy this situation? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I thought about something like this http://www.sudsnfloodtamer.com/ but cannot find anything online with anyone using it.
