I have a similar issue with my septic, though it is more it backflows when the ground water gets too high (like higher than the top of the tank).
We had torrential rain in June that had it backing up into the downstairs shower. The entire back yard was mud, and it lasted for many hours at that level of rain. It was crazy, I was going nuts, started smoking again after 7 years dry.
My situation is kinda the same. A lot about my house is grandfathered because of age and only has to be updated if I have to do any major work. Such as broken main line, means main line replacement.
I still have old tube and nob wiring in my ceiling. My sump pump runs through my main line before the city made it a regulation you couldn't do that.
Lots of grandfathered things, that as long as I do not have to change the way they work or do major repairs to them, I do not have to fully replace them. But the minute something major goes wrong with any of it, I have to do full replacements.
So with my sump pump going through my main line anytime it rain it back up into my downstairs bathroom. I live in the Midwest, specifically Indiana, which has been getting hammered by storms the last few days. So I've had to dig out my secondary pump and put it in my downstairs bathtub to pump the overflow water out into the yard. They been postponing the dig do to the storms until tomorrow, so let's hope no storms happen and it get's done tomorrow.
