How Is a BasementGutter™ Grated Drain Pipe System Installed?

Ideally, interior drains and grated drainage pipes are installed during the construction of the home. This allows for foundation construction to accommodate the necessary trenches for a drainage network before concrete is poured. Unfortunately, this isn’t always the case, and experts (like us) are required to step in and do what must be done. 

Post-Construction Procedure 

In cases where a drainage system needs to be installed post-construction, after a solution has been designed trenches will be dug. Often this means excavating part of the basement, which can be a time-consuming and labor-intensive process. Which is also why we recommended hiring professionals, like us, to handle installation. 

Laying the Drainage Network 

Once trenches have been dug, the drains and backfill (which may include additional matrix) are laid within. Depending on the extent of the system being installed, a sump pump and French drain perimeter system may be installed as well. After everything is connected, the floors will be repaired leaving only the grated gutter opening exposed.
