How to get rid of mud and snow in your garage
A garage drain is a simple yet extremely effective way to keep your garage clean and free of water and mud build-up. Installing a garage drain will also add value to your home and is a great addition if you are renovating your home.
How does a garage drain work?
A drain body is cut and installed where you desire the drain to be. Next, we cut and dig a hole below the frost line and form a sump pump, which the drain body will be connected to. The water will then be pushed or pour into the drain body and then flow into the sump pump, allowing for the water to flow below the frost line and eliminate the chance of causing instability.
