Sewer Backup Prevention - Manning Innovation Award

please explain sewer backup please. I want to udnerstand the physics behind it.

@signupsigma it works like a two way valve. sewer travel is one direction that is away from your home in the line. if it backs up from the main it will allow a small amount to backup just enough to close the line going to your house. the sewer has another opening were it is re routed or just caped off.

i'm confused about the definition of back-up. Right now, I think it means "clogged" and then therefore backing up as more sewer flows, but I'm not sure.

@signupsigma well a diode rectifier allows positive voltage too flow towards the cathold but if you reverse it it will not allow it to flow. one direction valve keeps backup from entering a dwelling.
