What are the advantages of an interior drain compared to an exterior drain?
-
Less invasive installation: Less disruption to costly outdoor landscaping.
-
Non-limiting installation period: Can be installed year-round, unlike an exterior drain.
-
Ease of maintenance: Accessible from inside the building, easy to inspect, and never needs to be cleaned.
-
Reduced risk of exterior damage: Sheltered from the elements and potential damage caused by tree roots or debris.
