We Need To Add A Floor Drain
When building a curling club, an important, but often overlooked detail is adding floor drains. They are needed so that when you melt the ice in the spring, the water has somewhere to go without you having to pump the water out.
When we leased the building, there were 3 floor drains already in the warehouse which at first seemed great. But since we have to build a club that is 3 sheets in a 2+1 formation, we noticed that all 3 floor drains were under the single sheet, with no drains under the double sheet.
So ultimately a couple of our members, Darrell & Phil, had to break up the concrete floor and add a drain line under the double sheet. You can see this process below.
-
Darrell marks the concrete area to be cut out
-
Phil drills some holes into the existing concrete floor
-
Phil starts to cut into the concrete floor
-
Phil continues to cut into the concrete floor
-
Cuts are done, now it is time to remove the concrete
-
This is going to be a lot of work
-
Bring out the concrete hammer
-
The concrete has been removed, time to put in the new drain pipe
-
The pipe is in place, time to install the drain fitting
-
Drain fittings installed

The drain is done, ready to pour some concrete to fill the hole
