. I had "screen drains" installed and (for me) a total waste of money. The fact they aren't completely flush to the cement "floor" makes them useless for other than A NOAH like flood! I got them mainly for when I power washed the floor so the water would flow out ..... NOPE, it just sits under the slight height above the concrete ground those drains sit and I still have to sweep out the water into the screen drain instead out of the screen DOOR. Even if they sat directly on the floor there would still be a lip to stop it from draining fully or close to fully. Fortunately, they weren't too expensive. That was my experience, YMMV.
