Dry-B-Lo

Installer of deck drain systems

Grant Moore's family had spent a lot of time and money building a deck and pouring concrete underneath it, but the area below was useless whenever it rained because water poured in. Moore knew there must be a way to keep the space below the deck dry. After working with an engineering firm for two years, Moore developed a drainage system that would not leak or collect debris. He filed patents and in 1993 founded Dry-B-Lo International Inc. to install his patented system of channels. This system, which is installed below a raised deck, helps convert a wet, unusable space into a dry, outdoor living space.
