hi...we have a 1/2 bath in the basement that back up when only when there is a "monsoon".
but because i'm paranoid, i put a "check-valve" down in the trap when i hear the report of heavy rainfall.
basicall the valve is screwed into the trap in place of the cap and it has a stem that u push down and then u spin the wing-nut to lock it in place. now sewage cant back into the house BUT watercant flow out either!
basically u cant flush or use water .
i've been living like this for years and now i'm fed up!
i want to seal off the toilet in the basement to rid myself of this problems. i'm tired of cleaning up filthy water in the bse if i didnt catch it in time!
i don't care that i seal up the 1/2 bath.
let the lines form at the upstairs bathroom!
THE QUESTION:..how do u seal off the toilet bowl? i would guesss that u remove it it but then what? u're loking at the flange and an open 3inch waste line..
how do ya seal it?!!
thanx in advance....mike
