basement drain
Below-ground water exit
A basement drain is a floor drain installed at the lowest point of a basement to remove water—whether from flooding, seepage, or appliance overflow.
It typically connects to a sump pump, sewer line, or drainage system.
The washing machine overflowed, but at least the basement drain caught most of it.
