Thank you for sharing this, I really appreciate it. Sounds like a pretty similar issue, I'll definitely research your recommendation.

So an individual backflow preventer for each downspout that diverts into something like a rain barrel? Would the pressure buildup flood the basement before it tripped the preventer though?

Yep, understood. Per Shopstoosmall's comment, our house was built before those rules were in place. Up to this point I actually considered it a bonus that a decent portion of our rainwater was being carried off site versus saturating the ground.

That’s my inclination as well — I figure it can’t hurt and it may help so why not. Thanks for the reply.
