Floor Drain Installation Contractors in Harmans MD

The Process of a Basement Floor Drain Installation

Installing a new floor drain in your basement or elsewhere may seem like a simple undertaking. You may be thinking about doing it yourself in order to save a little money, as hiring a contractor could potentially cost more than buying the tools and materials and installing the drain yourself. However, floor drains can be more complicated to install in an existing floor than one may originally think.

Let’s say you’re looking to add a floor drain to your preexisting concrete floor in your basement. You will first have to dig a trench to connect the drainpipe to the septic system. There are a number of ways to do this, but some will be more detrimental to your landscaping than others. A contractor will have the right machinery to do this carefully and with the least amount of damage possible to your yard.

You’ll also have to dig a trench in the existing concrete floor and pour new concrete around the added drainpipe. You may or may not have the right tools for this undertaking, but unless you’re experienced in operating something such as a jackhammer, it’s best to let a professional do this and not cause further damage to your floor.

Choosing a Drain Installation Contractor

Because putting in a floor drain is such a complicated process, there are many opportunities for something to go wrong. Even though there will be more upfront costs with a contractor, hiring a seasoned professional to install your floor drain will save you time and money down the road. For example, incorrectly poured concrete can crack and need replacing within months or even weeks. An improperly installed drain can wreak havoc on your home as well. A vetted contractor will be able to properly install your floor drain no matter what the environmental conditions for the installation are.
