Basement Floor Drain

In case of a plumbing leak, an airtight sump pump cover needs to be able to drain water from the basement floor. The built-in floor drains on the TripleSafe and SuperSump sump pump cover do just that. A simple ball-in-cup drain enables water to go down, but damp air cannot come up into your basement.

A floating ball in the drain creates the seal and floats when the cup fills with water. Although this seems like a simple device, be careful with certain products on the market, such as funnels with plastic balls, because due to their shape they don't all work.
