Carpet Blocking Ski Compartment Drain

Hello we recently had a small flooding in our finished basement that was caused by the floor drain backing up.

Carpet blocking ski compartment drain.

Thanks for any advice. Is your ski locker carpeted. Basement floor drain covers sometimes rust. I prefer to cut and opening in the carpet and put the drain cover over it for.

A notch had been cut out of the carpet at the aft end of the ski locker to allow water to drain through a hole in the fiberglass. I am in process of laying down new padding and the carpet and was wondering if this is a safe practice to cover floor drains in the basement. A basement floor drain cover prevents items that may clog the drain from entering it including lint wet paper or hair in gray water discharged from a washing machine. And the higher a carpet s pile the more difficult it is to get all the dirt up when vacuuming.

The cover also keeps items from falling into the drain such as toys and tools. Cover floor drains with carpet. The various carpet materials differ in their ability to resist stains and wear. I don t know if the piece of carpet that was on the other side of the hole came from that cut notch or somewhere else but that was what was blocking the water.
