Redirecting downspout (diverting)
Hi all,
Due to recent heavy rains, the drain in my backyard doesn't empty quickly enough and result ends up being the water backflows (?) through my shower in the basement. Used to be the toilet but the shower there is now at a lower level than the toilet.
So, my question is... the downspout for the roof gutter currently runs into the drain that is right by my basement door. Can I divert that downspout out to my backyard? My dad is telling me it might be a city violation (nyc) to do so.
Thanks for any info!
