Prevent flooding through basement stairways and hatchway doors
Our flooding solution system is the ideal prevention system for basement stair and doorway flooding.
Hatchway entrances leak from three critical points: underneath metal hatchway doors, where the hatchway and foundation meet, and through cracks in the concrete. No matter how water is flooding into your home from the hatchway doors, our Grated Drain System is a great way to keep it out of your basement space. The Grated Drain System is designed with a half-round pipe section, with a grated top fitting. When installed, it’s flush with the rest of your concrete floor for a clean, professional job.
The grated drain system is meant to be used as part of an existing perimeter drain system. It spans the staircase, collecting water that spills down and directs it to your drain and sump pump system. This system can span the entrance of the hatchway, or can be extended inside the hatchway itself.
Preventing flooding from plumbing failures
Our system is designed to control even the toughest moisture problems.
Unfortunately, home plumbing leaks are a common occurrence and can come from any of the many plumbing features throughout your home. However, there are some simple, effective solutions for the most common plumbing failures that occur.

Frequently Asked Questions About Basement Flooding
Basement flooding is a problem many people in the Greater Cleveland area have experienced. What questions might you have about this flooding?
As tempting as it is to ignore seemingly “small” basement leaks, you should always fix basement leaks as soon as you notice them. The problem is that so-called “small” basement leaks can very easily turn into much larger basement leaks and completely flood your basement. This is especially true if you don’t have a sump pump to drain out the water.
Home plumbing is actually one of the most common causes of basement flooding. If you have a leak in your plumbing system, chances are it’s going to flow to the lowest place in the home. Any homes that have a basement are liable to end up with basement flooding because of it.
Basements most commonly leak because of the basement hatchway doors, the opening between the hatchway and the foundation, and cracks in the basement walls. That’s why it’s important to install an entry surface drainage system and maintain a functioning perimeter drain, so you can avoid basement flooding before it even starts.
If you’re already experiencing basement flooding, it’s time to call in the experts. A basement waterproofing expert can help you remove water in your basement, whether that water is due to a longstanding problem or a freak accident.
