I’m looking for someone to install drain outlets under the screens on the patio. Any suggestions? Thanks

Call Tim Cox 342-7596. He installed 3 for me this past weekend.

How much does Tim charge? Thanks.

Since I had 3 existing drains that I had saved from a previous home I only had to pay for labor which was $25 per drain otherwise a new drain plus labor is $64 each whether you pick white or bronze.

A search here of "Lanai Drain" or similar will return many results.
A method I used is there and repeated below. Works great!
------------------------------------

You can have this fixed in 10 minutes from now for free.

Locate where the water collects at its deepest spot.

At the bottom aluminum channel where it's deepest, when dry if you prefer, loosen the 3-4 screws at that spot at least a couple of turns.

Place something thin underneath that won't rust or rot, like the thickness of a nickel, stainless steel washers or whatever you have around that's about that thickness. - (someone successfully used tie wraps) and place between the channel and concrete floor at that deepest spot.

Just something to hold that channel slightly above the concrete.

Re-tighten the screws.

Keeps the critters out and lets the water out.
