patb, am I mistaken or are you contemplating buying out in the “stix of rural VA” or worse yet, a “Type-A flood plain?” Which is it??
I understand now.

Having been to Union Stn a time or two, I will concede that the fact that you will be able to walk and bike everywhere in this region makes up for a LOT of “downside.”
Sorry I can’t be of much assistance on this type of project. But good luck, nevertheless, patb!

Combined storm/Sewer system.
A real gully washer will put sewage into many a basement.
I”d like to try and let other people have the problem, not me.
Most new construction in San Diego has backflow preventers on the water supply. We had to put one in for the companion unit. It is a big ugly thing. But it’s function is useful.
For the sewer line for the companion unit I know we have some kind of valve/backflow – but that may be integral with the pumps because it’s below the sewer line and has to pump the dirty water from a pump basin. Not typical at all.
Most places have a stormwater system, also. Would you have a backflow on that, also?
