Sump preparation
The sump pump is placed at the lowest point in the basement for natural drainage. All that is left here is to cement and look beautiful again.

Trench drain
This location is at the front of the garage. With a sloped driveway leading towards that garage, chances are this trench drain portion will re-route the most quantity of water. The important part to note is that every side and angle is protected.
