A trench drain catches water across a wide area, and it can protect a basement. Here is the Skokie guide.
The design
A long channel with a grate collects water along its length instead of at one point.
The use
It works at garage doors, basement entries, and areas that see surface water.
The connection
The channel ties into a drain or a sump system that moves the water away.
The call
Keep the water moving out. Call 888-217-3585 and Skokie Home Plumbing Co will match you with a Skokie pro.
