In some embodiments, the devices and apparatus include a housing including a top portion and a bottom portion, and a probe housing, extending from the bottom portion of the housing to a bottom surface area of the probe housing and sized to fit within an interior of a wye connector, the wye connector having an interior extending into an interior of the pipe. At least a first probe is disposed within the probe housing and exposed to an area between the bottom surface area of the probe housing and the interior of the pipe.

Claim (Index 1):
A sewer alarm, comprising:\n a housing including a top portion and a bottom portion; a probe housing, extending from the bottom portion of said housing to a bottom surface area of the probe housing and sized to fit within an interior of a connector that extends to an interior of the pipe, wherein the bottom surface area of the probe housing is angled to substantially match an angle at which the connector meets the interior of the pipe; at least a first probe disposed within said probe housing and exposed to an area between the bottom surface area of the probe housing and said interior of the pipe; and wherein said bottom portion of the probe housing is positioned to allow liquid to contact said at least first probe during a non-normal flow of liquid within said pipe, said contact causing operation of an alarm.
