  • Have you noticed that your basement is musty and humid? If so, you've probably got an issue with your basement floor drain; here are a few telltale signs it may need repair or replacement:

    • Gurgling sounds when you flush your toilet (especially if it's a basement toilet)
    • Mildew or sewage smells in your basement
    • Flooding and clear water backup after rainstorms
    • Staining on your floors and walls

    If you notice any of these signs, there's something wrong with your basement floor drain. Call the experienced plumbers at Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Columbus. We'll help you determine if replacement or repair is the right option and then quickly deliver the most effective service.

  • Most basement floor drain issues require replacement, except for when there's a clog.

    No matter how severe a clog is, we can clear it using our HydroScrub® Sewer Jetting service. This hydro-jetting tool uses high-pressure streams of water to clean your pipe's walls and break up any drain blockages. Afterward, you're left with a clean and clear drain pipe that should work flawlessly for years.

  • If you're dealing with an issue other than a clog, replacement is the way to go. Damaged pipes, cracked housings, and other problems can't easily be fixed and will likely return after repair.

    We recommend replacing your drain if it's over 25 years old. Our team regularly handles basement floor drain replacements in Columbus, typically in older homes with aging drains.

Types of Basement Floor Drain Replacements We Handle

Our local plumbers can replace all of the following types of basement floor drains.

  • Box drain: Box drains are made up of a square or round grate cover embedded into the floor. Beneath the grate is a hollow box that connects to your sewer line. During a flood, water flows into your sewer line, and the box serves as a holding tank for any excess water that is draining too slowly.
  • French drain/interior perimeter drain: French drains are best for houses with frequent flooding problems. They are installed in a trench around the basement's perimeter and connected to a sump pump for draining. French drains cost more to install but are well worth it if your house is in a flood-prone area.
  • Baseboard drain: These drains are common in older homes with flooding issues. They sit above your basement's floor and channel flood water out via a pipe that runs to your home's exterior. Since they sit above the floor, they only mitigate flood damage - they don't prevent it entirely. This makes them best for unfinished basements.
Regardless of your basement floor drain type, our team will show up with their full toolkit. You'll never have to wait for one of our plumbers to run back to the office to grab the right equipment.
