[quote=Anonymous]We're turning our (mostly) unfinished basement into more livable space. In preparing to tile the unfinished concrete floor we have run into an unexpected issue: What to do about the old basement floor drain, and whether to level out the floor, which slopes toward said drain. Tile guys say level out the floor but keep the drain. Plumber says definitely keep the drain -- and keep the slope, too -- or we'll certainly live to regret it one day when the washing machine overflows or the hot water heater bursts, sending water all over the place. Practical advice, I suppose. But who wants to spend all the money on tile just to have a still-sloping floor and a big old drain down there? For the many people out there who have been through this already: What did you do in this situation? What would you do? TIA![/quote]
