Stop Flooding Through Doorways, Hatchways, & Entryways

TrenchDrain

Our TrenchDrain™ Grated Drainage Pipe System Can Help!

Many homeowners have contacted us with concerns about water flowing into their home through hatchway entrances, down stairways, or through garage doors. When we encounter this kind of situation, we usually recommend our TrenchDrain Drainage Pipe System.

TrenchDrain resembles half of a basement drainage pipe, with a grated opening fitted snugly on top. The grate is flush or slightly below the floor, eliminating any tripping hazard. It is uniquely designed to span doorways, hatchway entrances, and similar entryway doors. Any water passing over the drain is collected in the drainage openings and redirected to your sump pump.

How It Works

TrenchDrain

Stop Flooding Through Garage Doors

Many of our customers have the TrenchDrain System installed along the opening to their garage door. In this application, the drain will intercept the water and direct it to your sump pump system.

We always recommend installing the drain along the inside of the garage, where it’s much less likely to freeze during the winter months.

Installing our drain along the inside of the door will also protect the system from clogging with outside debris such as dirt, sand, sticks, and leaves.

When Draining Hatchway Doors…

When installing this system on hatchway doors, we will generally recommend installing them inside the hatchway entrance (instead of in the basement where the hatch opens).

Since the TrenchDrain Drainage Pipe System includes a grated opening, it separates the drain from the basement as much as possible.

Applications & Benefits

The TrenchDrain™ Grated Drainage Pipe System offers a robust solution for homeowners concerned with water intrusion through doorways, hatchways, and entryways. Our system is designed with several key benefits to ensure effectiveness and ease of maintenance:

Incorporating TrenchDrain into your full-perimeter drainage system adds no additional cost to the completed waterproofing solution. Even if your hatchway isn’t currently leaking, we recommend installing this system as a proactive measure to protect against potential flooding in the future.
