ball missing in sewer drain to prevent back flow

Is there any way to replace the missing ball in my basement floor drain without completely removing the existing pipe and concrete floor? The drain has backed up a few times but nothing major; a partial clog has been removed. I would like to replace the ball before anything serious happens. Thanks!

I can't locate any replacement balls on the net. Your best bet would be to get the name of the manufacture off the floor drain and contact him. Either that or replace the floor drain with a flap type floor drain and backflow preventer. good luck, Tom
