So, I'm looking at all this as a good thing. BUT, should I be looking
at a backflow plug/valve?

While you are sorting out the ultimate fix, get hold of the pressure
test plug that plumbers use when they test such things as a shower's
ability to hold water. I got mine at Home Depot. for a few bucks.
They come in various pipe sizes. Remove the drain cover, insert the
plug and tighten the wing nut. Works great.
