Where can I find a replacement outside drain cover for an older home?
My home was built in 1947 and has stairs leading down to a basement
door below ground level. At the bottom is basically a concrete floor with an old drain cover and drain pipe. The old cover has cracked into 2 pieces, so I'm trying to find a suitable replacement. Unfortunately, so far I've only been able to find lightweight metal covers which secure with screws. This old cover is very heavy metal (lead?) and basically sits down in the hole and stays put because of its weight. There are no screws. Does any body have any ideas on where I might find a replacement cover that could work like this? Something to note...I must be able to easily remove the cover whenever I want because from time to time the drain gets clogged with dirt and needs to be scooped out - so screwing it into place (even if possible) would not be ideal. Thanks for your help! |
