Overflow Drains: What Are They, and Why Are They Important?

As their name suggests, overflow drains are special types of drains designed to handle overflow from large quantities of water. Overflow drains work the same as regular drains and they are typically installed in addition to regular drains to provide more drainage in a given area. Unlike regular drains, overflow drains are usually raised so as not to begin draining until water has reached a certain level. In the event of flooding or heavy precipitation, regular drains can quickly reach their maximum rate of drainage — meaning they can’t drain water any quicker. When this happens and there is still a lot of water left to be drained, water damage to a property can occur. Overflow drains prevent this from happening by supporting regular drains with extra drainage. These drains are essential to have in areas with high-precipitation or flash floods.

Stainless Steel and Copper: The Ideal Materials for Overflow Drains

The ideal overflow drain is designed to handle large quantities of water without complications. Cheap overflow drains made from low-grade metals or plastics are prone to damage, rust, and other weathering over time. Overflow drains made from stainless steel or copper, on the other hand, are rated for 100% rust-resistance and lifetime durability. Strong and unlikely to warp or break in the event of inclement weather, copper and stainless steel overflow drains are built to handle even the most demanding outdoor conditions. Not only that, but they’re also easy-to-clean and aesthetically pleasing. Add them to your home or business for an elegant touch that doesn’t cut corners on performance.
