I am looking at a possibility of building a production facility, and wonder how the drainage is best added into a building that already has a great smooth floor.
I know that the recommendation is to pitch the floors 1/4" per foot toward the drains - I would do a little more if I can... but how? You don't rip up the entire floor, do you? Do you lay a skim coat with a pitch toward the drains? I think that would chip immediately. I know how trench drains are installed, so I don't need to hear opinion on cutting those and installing with appropriate plumbing.
In the interest of not costing a ton of cash, I figured you just lay the trench drains and just use squeegees to get the floors clear.
