Question
drains should be provided outside the vehicle door in garages that are below grade, where the driveway slopes down toward the garage; when the floor slab has settled; detached; in wet climates where the garage is attached; provided with interior drains. question 6 a floor drain at the bottom of a basement walkout should have a trap; should be tied into the perimeter drainage tile around the house; must be tested for functional drainage; can be connected to a french drain or to a floor drain pipe inside the house; should connect to a minimum 4 inch drain pipe
- For the first question about garage drains, when a garage is below grade and the driveway slopes down towards it, water can accumulate and flow into the garage. Providing a drain outside the vehicle door helps to prevent water - ingress. Other options like a settled floor slab, detached or attached nature in wet climates, or existing interior drains do not directly relate to the need for an exterior drain.
- For the second question about a basement walk - out floor drain, it must be tested for functional drainage to ensure it can effectively remove water. While having a trap, being tied into perimeter drainage, connection to a French drain or an indoor pipe, and connection to a minimum 4 - inch pipe are important aspects, the most fundamental requirement is to test its functionality.
