Add A Drain In Your Basement Floor |
|
|
When building your home, if you're having a basement, you might want to consider having a drain in the floor. In case of a water leak while you're gone, your basement won't fill up, so no water damage.

RE: Add A Drain In Your Basement Floor
All new homes are required to have a drain usually in the laundry room by the hot water tank. It is code.
RE: Add A Drain In Your Basement Floor
I grew up in the Northern part of the country where all homes had basements with drains in the floor. In the city, they'd connect to the home's drain pipes and in the country, they'd connect to the sump pump drain. I thought this was a normal procedure.
RE: Add A Drain In Your Basement Floor
A hole in a basemant floor also means water can enter your basement especially if your ground water table is high.Some homes have a hole for a sump pump.A sump pump is placed in the hole and if water is present the pump turns on automatically and pumps the water out of the basement and discharges the water a distance away from the house.To just put a hole in the basement floor does'nt made any sense.
