I need some plumbing help. If someone knows or could share this with someone that might it would be much appreciated. It started when i busted up the foundation to move a drain for a tub install. There is standing water under there preventing me from working on the drain. Next to the shower drain there is a perforated black pipe that is full of water so I'm assuming that isn't draining properly. Also in the basement was an access hole i dug up to inspect and judging by the text on the cover it's a backwater valve but i may be wrong. This also is very wet around it but with shower and sinks ruining i don't see anything running out or movement around it. Might be related might not. I'm clueless. Help!
Additional notes after speaking with others.
-I have no sump pump.
-The basement is on grade in back and a few feet below in front. The back yard is always pretty squishy and wet.
-I can't find anywhere on the exterior of the home where a black pipe would or could drain.
