How do you remove an old ball check valve from a basement drain?

What you have is a ball check valve, and you could have a combo Sanitary/Storm System, The ones I have seen use a squeeze type insert into the floor drain, and that nut you are looking at is just a clean-out plug to by-pass the check valve for drain cleaning.(:
You can try and drill it out and replace it with a new one, I have two new valves in my garage. However; what I would do is bust-up that section of concrete and replace that section of pipe with all new parts, also think about calling a licensed plumber like A-General Plumbing & sewer service company in NJ to remove the storm sewer connections and pipe it separately to the outside of the house to avoid flooding when heavy rains occur.
