    Floor Drain
    I have a floor drain in my basement. I had sewage backup due to a problem in my septic tank. I've corrected the septic tank issue but would like to prevent backflow from the septic tank. Is there a backflow device I can insert into the floor drain. The drain is used to allow water discharge from my whole house water softner.
