Open back design never restricts water intake. Drain Main Basement System’s open back design allows water seepage to enter the channel for the full length of joint where the footing and walls meet. Unlike other systems that restrict water intake to holes punched in the back channel.

Front toe channel feature keeps the seam where the old concrete meets new concrete bone dry. Drain Main Basement System’s front toe channel collects water directly under concrete seam keeping the seam between the old and new concrete bone dry after installation.

Drain Main was designed to collect excess water from all the major sources of a wet basement. The 3 ridged spacers along the backside fin of the Drain Main Basement System allows water coming down the face of the walls to be collected and channeled it into the the system. Drain Main captures water seepage from the primary sources of a wet, leaky basement and quietly drains it away to the sump chamber leaving a bone dry basement.

The Drain Main Basement System was engineered and patented by Ken Cotten, WATERPROOF.COM founder, after decades of hands-on experience in the basement waterproofing installation business. Ken designed the Drain Main Basement System for waterproofing contractors seeking a subfloor system without the back-breaking work of drain tile.

Designed After Decades in the Installation Business

Drain Main Basement System was engineered by Ken Cotten after years of frustration with the current stand-alone footer channels on the market. There were few options at the the time and the ones available made installation a pain and weren’t as effective at collecting seepage. 

Ken designed the Drain Main drainage system specifically to capture water seeping in at the joint where the foundation walls meet the footing, ensuring it stays contained within the waterproofing channel. Unlike other systems that allow water to escape under the floor due to a plastic bottom, our system features a series of rubber gaskets along the base, preventing water from traveling beneath the channel and leaking under the basement floor. This ensures efficient water collection and keeps a basement floor dry without the risk of further seepage.

Our Drain Main Basement System design combines features of an above floor waterproofing system and subfloor drain tile channel to address all major sources of wet basements in one easy install.

The rugged footer drain waterproofing system known as the Drain Main Basement System, requires far less concrete removal and no trenching around the footer foundation to install. Our Drain Main basement waterproofing system is a highly reliable product trusted by contractors for decades, offering long-lasting protection against water seepage and helping them deliver dry, durable basements for their clients.
