Below Floor Drain
The WaterGuard® Below-Floor French Drain System near Post Falls, Coeur d'Alene, Spokane, and neighboring areas!
Below-Floor Drain System with a Lifetime Written Warranty
How It Works
The WaterGuard® System stands out as an acclaimed and patented below-floor drain, skillfully positioned within a layer of drainage stone atop the foundation footing. This innovative design has earned it prestigious awards, solidifying its reputation as a top-tier solution for effective basement water management.
Positioning the drain at this specific juncture ensures its exclusion from the notorious “mud zone,” where drain blockages frequently occur. The distinctive shape and expansive drain openings of WaterGuard® play a vital role in proactively averting clogs within the system.
WaterGuard® consistently tops our recommendation list and stands as our extensively utilized drain system. Its popularity stems from its remarkable resistance to clogs, user-friendly service port accessibility, and its proficiency in collecting seeping water from the basement walls.

The WaterGuard® Below-Floor Drain System is specifically engineered with an integrated wall flange, extending 3/8″ up your basement wall.
Any water seeping from the walls will travel downward and flow behind this flange, effectively directed into the WaterGuard® system.
Collecting Water Seepage from Wall Cracks
Basement walls can experience flooding from various sources, including wall cracks, penetrations from pipes or wires, and even through basement windows.
At Premier Basement Systems, we offer a range of products designed to collect water seepage from walls and channel it to your below-floor drain. Our solutions include the FlexiSpan® Wall Crack System and the WellDuct® Window Drain.
The water gathered by these systems is efficiently directed down to your WaterGuard® System and subsequently channeled to your sump system.
Addressing Leaks in Concrete Block Walls
For homes with block walls, water accumulation within the empty cavity of each block is a common issue. Over time, this water can seep through, finding its way into your home.
The solution to this issue lies in providing a pathway for the water to drain out of the block cavities. To achieve this, we strategically drill “weep holes” in each block, allowing efficient drainage as the cavities fill with water.
The water released through these weep holes is directed behind the wall flange of the WaterGuard® system. From there, it efficiently flows into your below-floor drain.
Exploring Alternatives:
The Choice Against PVC Pipe for Your Below-Floor Drain
Conventional below-floor drain systems often employ sections of PVC pipe, leading to a challenging installation process. The wide dimensions of these pipe sections make them impractical to rest on the footing, requiring additional floor removal to install them in front of the footing instead. This results in extra labor and effort on your part.
Placing these systems in front of the footing means they reside in the “mud zone,” significantly increasing the risk of clogging with mud. Additionally, the absence of a wall flange leaves a 1/2″ gap along the edges, notorious for clogging with debris from the floor.
