Dumb plumbing question

[turkeyfeathers]

So with 6 plus feet of snow on the ground, high temps and rain. That water is most likely going to end up in my basement. Used to be refinished but Serv Pro took care of that two floods ago. Only french drain, no sump. My question is : have 1/4 hp submersible pump dad just bought us. Thinking flex hose vs regular garden hose. My main question : is my french drain that's connected to the sewer different drainage that the wash basin tub in the basement?  Was thinking of dumping water into wash basin if different. I'll put a piece of cheesecloth or panty hose over end of hose so I don't clog wash tub drain. If water goes to same place I'll be flogging a dead horse and essentially be pumping the same water over and over. No basement windows to open to stick hose outside. I could leave sidedoor ajar and get hose outside but storm drain in front of house so again same water. Thanks in advance for any help. Just coming off 43 hours of shoveling in 4 days and don't want any more headaches. Going to put washer/dryer and chest freezer on 2 x 4" as lifts.

Your wash tub shouldn't be tied into any underground drain tile or storm sewer lines.

It should be on the sanitary sewer that has the house trap, so you should be good to go pumping into that if need be.

How old is your place?

That's all you can really do at this point is prepare yourself and pray!

Good luck as we melt down.

Here in Ontario , NY , it is illegal to put sump pump water or gutter pipe water into the sewer system . So , if you do that , just don't broadcast the fact that you are doing it . Just a heads up . Hope things work out for you .

  Village storm drain is probably   as old or older than your house.    Good luck.
