Protect your investment.
The GrateDrain solves the most difficult basement waterproofing problems. Protect your Jefferson City basement with the latest technological water control system available today in Jefferson City , MO. The GrateDrain is created with large dual chambers that direct ground water from beneath the basement floor and the wall/ footing joint to the sump liner. The GrateDrain’s ability to accept ground water through large passageways (punch holes) from either direction is a powerful advantage when compared to other drainage systems. Other drainage systems only allow water to enter from one direction or to pass right through their drainage pipe from the wall/ footing joint and bring ground water under the basement slab instead of directing it to the sump liner. (see figure 1)
Dual Chamber Isolates Iron Bacteria
The isolation between the GrateDrain dual chambers prevent cross contamination of iron bacteria. Our research showed that most iron bacteria problems are located in one area of the basement. For example, the iron bacteria may only come in the wall/ footing joint and not from under the slab or it may originate from under the slab and not from the wall/footing joint. In fact, other systems allow cross contamination of iron bacteria colonies to the whole basement. The GrateDrain was designed to isolate an iron bacteria problem so that it is not spread throughout the basement in your Jefferson City Home.
Assembly and Installation
The GrateDrain design allows the installer to snap the vertical sections together with each separate top and bottom walls. Once completed the GrateDrain trak system will not come apart. GrateDrain takes care of the entire basement. The GrateDrain is installed on the perimeter below the basement floor. The corners have accessable covers to allow a service technician to fluch out the system if needed. GrateDrain Corner Ports™ are actually a 90 degree turn which allows water to flow faster.GrateDrain’s design allows the installer to custom build each system right on the jobsite. Once built, it becomes a “one piece trak system” with virtually no joints. The GrateDrain is stronger than any other drainage system.GrateDrain is created for closed sub floor drainage systems only. We recommend that a wall vapor barrier like TuffShield™, HD TuffShield™, or ThermalShield™ be installed along with Flexi-Flange™. We also suggest surrounding the GrateDrain with clean 3/4″ crushed stone.
