  • Basement floor drains are typically installed at the lowest point of the floor and connect to your home’s main drainage system. They’re designed to handle:

    1. Overflow from washing machines, water heaters, and utility sinks
    2. Groundwater seepage during heavy rains
    3. Accidental water spills or leaks from pipes
    4. Excess water from air conditioning systems or sump pumps

    When these drains become clogged with dirt, debris, soap residue, or grease, they can’t do their job. Water can back up quickly, especially during storms or plumbing emergencies. That’s why regular maintenance and quick action when problems arise are key to avoiding disaster.

  • Our licensed plumbers have seen it all. These are the most common issues we address in basement floor drains across Lexington and surrounding areas:

    • Clogs and Blockages - Hair, soap scum, dirt, sediment, laundry lint, and even small objects can build up in the drain over time, restricting flow and eventually causing a complete blockage.
    • Tree Root Intrusion - If your floor drain connects to a main sewer line and your home has older pipes, invasive tree roots could be growing into the system, causing backups and slow drainage.
    • Sewer Line Backups - If your floor drain is gurgling or backing up with foul-smelling water, the problem could be a clogged or collapsed sewer line—a serious issue that demands immediate attention.
    • Improper Drainage or Installation - Poorly sloped floors, incorrect drain installation, or lack of backflow prevention can lead to frequent water pooling or backups in your basement.
