The Original DrainDome

Keeping Leaves High So Basements Stay Dry
Our Story

"Necessity is the mother of invention"

Thirteen years ago, we purchased a new home, thrilled by the idea of a fresh start in a house with “no problems.” The first fall, however, we discovered an issue we hadn’t anticipated. The beautiful oak trees surrounding our property did what oak trees do in the fall—drop their leaves.

It only took a few leaves to cover the small drain in our walkout basement. When the seasonal rains came, the clogged drain caused water to back up and seep under the basement door, flooding our wonderful new space. What started as excitement turned into frustration as we faced this unexpected challenge.

If you’ve experienced something similar, you know how frustrating and costly it can be to deal with inadequate 4-inch or 5-inch drain covers that many builders install.

After years of searching for a solution, we discovered and tested the patented DrainDome cover. Its unique design prevents clogs caused by leaves and debris, solving the problem that so many homeowners face. With DrainDome, you can avoid the hassle and damage caused by small, ineffective drain covers and keep your basement dry and worry-free.

What have you tried to guard your basement entrance from rain intrusion?

I used a gutter leaf blocker to try and help. It kept me from being able to open my basement door, didn't fit, and was a trip hazard.

I found a metal leaf guard in the local hardware store and shoved it into the drain. when it stayed in place it was ok but ugly and eventually got knocked out of the hole.

I was so afraid of the leaves blocking the drain I had a friend put a big piece of marine plywood over my basement entrance. It worked! I never had a problem again but I couldn't use my basement and it was an eyesore.
