Candler, NC Home Needs Traffic Drain for a Unique Water Issue

We pride ourselves on crafting solutions for customers with unique water issues. This Candler, North Carolina homeowner wanted to have a way to trap the water tracked in by the inhabitants of the home. This meant installing a contraption that could easily fit into the owner daily lives without much hullabaloo. That prompted our Design Specialist, David Listovitch, to recommend a traffic drain. That is the insert you find at the foot of the door in the “after” photo.

It has little slits that allow water into it, but it is also connected to a WaterGuard piping system that directs that water away.

It’s a great system that works seamlessly. After the cement dries, the floor can be recovered (leaving the traffic drain exposed) and no one will be the wiser. The only hint you will have that something has changed is the absence of water in the entryway. If that's not a job well done, we don't know what is.
