Water flows through this low profile system to a sump-pump. The concrete floor is poured over the Basement Drain Main™ low profile. Basement Drain Main™ water flow is equal to that of a 3 inch pipe. Two co-extruded rubber seals along the bottom of the Basement Drain Main™ system reduce dumping of exterior water under the basement floor.
