Reasons why your basement flooded

There are so many reasons your basement might flood, including:

Prevent flooding through basement stairways and hatchway doors

TrenchDrain System

The TrenchDrain system can help prevent flooding.

Hatchway entrances leak in three different places:

  • Underneath metal hatchway doors
  • Where the hatchway and foundation meet
  • Cracks in the concrete

The solution? TrenchDrain™!

No matter how water is getting into your home through hatchway doors, our TrenchDrain™ Hatchway Door System is the perfect way to keep water out of your basement. The TrenchDrain is designed to be part of an existing perimeter drain system. It spans the staircase, collecting water that spills down and directing it to your drain and sump pump system. It can span the entrance of the hatchway or can extend inside the hatchway itself.

The TrenchDrain System is designed with a half-round pipe section, with a grated top fitting. When it's installed, it is flush with the rest of your concrete for a clean, professional look.

Prevent flooding due to plumbing failures

Flooding due to a plumbing failure can damage carpet, drywall, appliances, and personal possessions in storage. The mold that follows creates allergens that lead to serious long-term health effects.

While it's not possible to prevent all pipes, toilets, sinks, tubs, and faucets from leaking, sump pumps can help prevent serious basement flooding. Our sump pumps are equipped with an airtight floor drain that lets water from a plumbing leak down the drain, but prevents moisture from entering your basement.
