Yea I put one in at my sisters house. I don't remember what specific brand I picked up etc. but it was the same basic idea. It has a flap inside that gets pushed closed if shit flows in. Depending on what kind of access you have to your sewer line it can be a bit of a pain to install. Not the actual connection process but the cutting of the 4" line. I didn't have much room to swing the cutter and it took forever. Had to finish up some spots with the sawzall.
 
That sucks man. Especially bein a ex-plumber and not bein able to just bust it out yourself. The silver lining is at least you can stand your in-laws though. I'd take a leakin roof a basement floor ful lof crap over my in-laws any day!

Who needs ice? Born in Texas, lived in Alaska. We don't need no stinkin' ice in our drinks. It runs through our veins!

I gotta tell a funny story...well, was very embarassing at the time, but it is funny now that I am a lot older...

When I was 23 or 24, Dad came home from work one day and took a shower...we were on septic tank back then...fairly new house and only pine trees in the yard no where close to the field lines...as he was showering, the water was not draining so he quickly finished and we went to work trouble shooting the drainage problem...first off, plunge the toilet...no use just backed up pressure stopping you....next step, snake....nothing in the lines as far as it could reach....next step, yup, you got it, go out and dig up the trap end of the septic tank and go from there...it had been pretty dry so the tank wasn't full of anything...I was digging the hole and he was on his knees pointing where he wanted me to dig...clunk...hit the trap lid and cleared the area over the lid of all grass/dirt...dad had a pry bar and stuck it under the lid, pulled it up and put a 2X4 long ways under the lid so he could reach in...yuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucccckkkkkkkkkkkkkk!!!!...he reached in and came out with a handfull of........condoms...well, he knew he hadn't been using them and I was living at home and well, you get the idea...Busted!!!!!...thats the first time he realized I was a grown man I think....
