Since we are currently planning the sanitary stuff, I brought up the topic of backflow valves. We have three spots in the basement where wastewater is discharged outside. For whatever reason, they didn't channel it all to one place.... The plumber says that we are not supposed to have backflow valves. Apparently, they are only needed if rainwater is also discharged into the sewer. That is not allowed in our case, meaning only wastewater is discharged into the sewer. Since we are building in a flood-prone area, I think it is still possible that water could push back through the sewer. What do you think? Do I still need backflow valves then?
