Thank you for purchasing the Dual Seal Drain™ system.

As you may know, water inltration in a basement can be a serious and

costly problem. By purchasing the Dual Seal Drain™ system, you are on the

road to a complete solution. The unique, patent-pending Dual Seal Drain

system is designed to detect water within the perimeter of the basement

when it enters from a rainstorm or other leak source. The Dual Seal Drain

system is designed to be installed over any existing basement or crawl space

drainage system or over a oating oor gap. There are many applications

for this product. Once installed, the customer can either visually inspect

and monitor the drain for leaks or purchase a leak detection system that

will notify the customer should any leaks occur. Such leak detection systems

range from simple battery-operated audible alarms to more sophisticated

Wi-Fi enabled cable detection systems.

If you have the necessary skills, you can install the Dual Seal Drain system

yourself or you can hire a licensed contractor to install it for you. Regardless

of which option you choose, a licensed plumber must be used if a sump

pump and collection basket are to be installed as well. Please keep in mind

that there are both state and local codes and regulations to be complied

with and that any plumbing work requires compliance with those codes and

regulations.

The Dual Seal Drain system is the only system that, when installed properly

and used with an effective monitoring system, can detect leaks from the

foundation, walls (including pipe leaks in the wall) or windows, before

severe damage to the affected area occurs. By preventing severe damage to

the basement walls and/or oor, the need for costly repairs or replacement

may be eliminated.

Please read the entire installation guide before beginning installation.

I. Before Installing The Dual Drain™ System

A. Level of Expertise

Regardless of whether you intend to install the Dual Seal Drain

system yourself or use a professional contractor, the installer should

have experience working with masonry and working with a drain tile.

That expertise is needed to determine the best and most effective

way to prepare the pit so that drainage is most efcient and effective.

An experienced professional contractor who has the appropriate

knowledge should be able to identify where water leaks are most

likely to occur, whether from sewer pipe or water line penetration,

foundation leaks, window leaks and/or leaks from cracks in the

foundation.

B. Description, Disclaimer and Limited Warranty

DESCRIPTION

The Dual Seal Drain system is a unique application designed to assist

in the early detection of small leaks that may occur in basements

or crawl spaces. The Dual Seal Drain system provides an accessible

track at the base of the foundation wall for water to ow should such

a small leak occur. Please note that this system was not designed to

mitigate sudden large ows of water (ooding), nor is it capable of

doing so. In that regard, the Dual Seal Drain system is intended to

be used as a complement to a full basement waterproong system,

which typically include the use of a “French Drain” and one or more

sump pumps to address such sudden, large ows of water. In other

words, one should think of the Dual Seal Drain system as a low cost

“Early Warning System” that will assist in detecting small leaks before

they become large problems. Further, because the Dual Seal Drain

System is not a water mitigation system, it is intended for installation

in dry basements or crawl spaces, not wet ones.

The end user of this product, whether a homeowner or owner of a

commercial property, can further enhance the use of the Dual Seal

Drain system by having sensors and an alarm-based monitoring

system installed at the time the Dual Seal Drain system is installed.

Such monitoring systems range from very basic, battery-operated

sensors and monitoring devices to sophisticated sensors and monitors

that utilize WiFi technology. Regardless of the type of monitoring

system selected, the sensors should be located wherever a potential

leak could develop.

The Dual Seal Drain system was also designed to help mitigate the

intrusion of harmful gases or vapors into the basement or crawl space.

When properly installed by a licensed contractor, the Dual Seal Drain

system will help seal out such gases or vapors.

We recommend that the end user of this system obtain a radon test

of the area where the Dual Seal Drain system is installed, especially

if harmful levels of such gases or vapors were previously detected,

to conrm that the installation of the Dual Seal Drain system is

effectively mitigating any such intrusion.

DISCLAIMER AND LIMITED WARRANTY

As noted above, while the Dual Seal Drain system is designed to detect

and mitigate small leaks that may develop in a basement or crawl

space, and provides the end user the opportunity to be informed of

such leaks if the end user also has an appropriate sensor and alarm-

based monitoring system installed, the Dual Seal Drain system is not

designed to prevent leaks from occurring, nor is it designed to address

sudden, large ows of water should major ooding occur, whether

caused by a burst pipe, storms, or any other circumstance that could

cause such ooding. In addition, while designed to help lessen the

intrusion of harmful gases or vapors, no assurance can be given that

no such intrusion will occur even after the Dual Seal Drain system is

installed. That is why we recommend that appropriate radon testing

be conducted following the installation of the Dual Seal Drain system.

Accordingly, the only warranty given by the manufacturer of the Dual

Seal Drain system is as follows:

or in other possible problem areas.

B. The Collection Basket – sold separately

Determine the location for the collection basket. There may be

only one logical choice based on the basement size and equipment

layout. If there are choices, pick an area with the closest or easiest

proximity to your desired discharge location

V. Installing

A. Before you begin installing the system, you MUST vacuum all excess

debris and water from the basement.

B. Open the boxes containing all the Dual Seal Drain system (DSD)

components needed for installation. (See illustrations on page 5.)

C. Set up the DSD pipe B and the 90º DSD inside and outside corner

ttings C/D around the perimeter of the basement to measure

for cuts.

D. Mark the DSD pipe and make the appropriate calculated cuts using

a proper saw. (We recommend marking with a silver Sharpie™.)

E. Once cuts are made, apply two beads of glue to the bottom and

backs (where the ridges are) of each of the needed DSD components

(one at a time, starting with a DSD corner) and secure them to the

slab and the foundation.

F. Glue on the inside of the DSD J-Coupling E and slide onto each

section where the DSD pipes and the DSD corners meet to join them

together.

G. Apply glue to the DSD Seal Cap F (same as the DSD End Cap)

and afx to the top of drain (centered over the seam) to seal each

section of the DSD pipe and DSD corners.

Note: The DSD L-Corner Flex G is used for ...

H. The nal step is to apply glue along the top and bottom of the entire

perimeter of the Dual Seal Drain system where walls (foundation)

and oors (slab) meet.

See pages 7 and 8 for photo examples.

Remove all water and debris

from entire perimeter.

Place all DSD components

as needed around perimeter.

Apply 2 beads of glue along ridges of

DSD Corner (base and back).

Apply 2 beads of glue along the ridges of

DSD pipe (back).

Place DSD pipe securely with

DSD Corner against the wall and oor.

Glue DSD Seal Cap and place over the seam

between DSD pipe and DSD Corner.

Place each glued DSD Corner

securely in position.

Measure and mark DSD pipes accurately

and then cut evenly.

Apply 2 beads of glue along the ridges of

DSD pipe (base).

Glue DSD J-Coupling and slide over

the seam between DSD pipe and DSD Corner.

Shown are DSD Seal Cap and DSD

J-Coupling in position of seam of DSD Pipe.

Once all components are secured, then glue

base of components to slab (oor)...

Additionally, if you need to close end of DSD

pipe, glue DSD End Cap (also Seal Cap) ...

... and seal DSD pipe base and then ...

... the top of DSD pipe.

... and glue top of components

to foundation (wall).

On occasion, you may need to make

adjustments such as this ...

... cut DSD pipe to join with DSD Corner and

seal with DSD Seal Cap and DSD L-Corner Flex.

The Dual Seal Drain system

is comprised of a variety of

components that will t any size and

shape basement. From corners to end caps,

the drain can be perfectly sealed to prevent vapors

from entering and water from ooding your home.

The Dual Seal Drain system was not invented to replace

a fully-warranted French Drain system.
