Add A Drain In Your Basement Floor

RE: Add A Drain In Your Basement Floor By hartfordave (19) Contact I agree with foxrun. If there is a drain in the basement floor then it needs to be tied into something such a pump system or sewer drain if applicable. There is more info about basement waterproofing systems here: http://www.waterproof-basement.com/ Posted on 02/25/2009 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Add A Drain In Your Basement Floor By PICO (468) Contact All new homes are required to have a drain usually in the laundry room by the hot water tank. It is code.

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.
