Thin Floor Drain System
The FlowGuard®: Thin Floor Basement Drain System near Post Falls, Coeur d'Alene, Spokane, and neighboring areas!
Subfloor Drain System: Ideal for Installation beneath Thin Concrete Floors
How It Works
In the majority of basement situations, our recommendation involves jackhammering the perimeter of the basement floor and installing a French drain system on top of the foundation’s footing.
Yet, when dealing with an exceptionally thin concrete floor slab, a conventional drain system may pose challenges. Placing it atop the footing would result in an excessive protrusion above the floor slab.
In such scenarios, our typical recommendation is the utilization of our FlowGuard Thin Floor Drain System. This specialized, slim variant of our standard drain system is designed for installation in front of the foundation footing.
The drainage channel is meticulously crafted to gather water from the basement walls through a wall flange. This flange efficiently directs the collected water to a drain system positioned within a bed of clean drainage gravel.

Confronting Challenges in the "Mud Zone"
As this drain system is positioned ahead of the foundation footer, it operates within the “mud zone,” where the presence of mud beneath the floor may pose a risk of potential clogging to the perimeter drain.
To preempt potential issues, we incorporate a substantial layer of drainage stone beneath and around the drain during installation. The distinctive design of this drain system further ensures its resilience against clogging problems.
Water Infiltration Through Floor Cracks
While the majority of floor cracks cease leaking once a drain system is in place, we can tailor your system to specifically target and address areas of particular concern.
Floor Restoration at Its Finest!
Following the installation of your drain system beneath the basement floor, our installation crew will expertly restore the excavated section of the slab using new concrete.
For instances where a sizable crack raises concerns, we can implement a lateral line beneath the floor. This drainage line extends from the crack to your sump pump system, diverting water away before it can inundate your visible floor surface.
