General Specialties Flood-Guard for 2-Inch Flood Drains | General Pipe Cleaners

Overview

Protect your basement from water intrusion during heavy rain or sewer surges with the Flood-Guard for 2-inch drains. From General Pipe Cleaners, this compact device behaves like a check valve, allowing normal flow until a backup occurs. When sewer backflow rises, the Flood-Guard’s float lifts and seals the drain opening, staying in place until water recedes. It’s a discreet safeguard designed to support existing plumbing without requiring power or complex installation.

How it works

Installed inside a 2-inch drain line, the Flood-Guard relies on a responsive float mechanism. As water pressure builds from a backup, the float rises to seal the opening, blocking backflow from the sewer and helping to keep your living spaces drier and safer during storms or infrastructure issues.

Materials and durability

Key components include molded rubber gaskets for a reliable seal and all stainless steel metal parts for lasting durability. This combination helps resist corrosion and wear in damp basement environments, contributing to steady performance over time.

• Easily installs with just a screwdriver
• Prevents back-up and reduces the risk of water intrusion
