         7 . The drainage system of  claim 1 , further including four drains. 
     
     
         8 . A drainage system comprising:
 grated tracks adapted to be located along a periphery of a floor;   an underneath channel running below the grated tracks;   at least one drain located on the underneath channel;   at least one drain conduit running from the at least one drain to a floor drain; and   a waterproof membrane placed between the floor and the underneath channel.   
     
     
         9 . The drainage system of  claim 8 , further comprising an adjustable floor pitch tier. 
     
     
         10 . The drainage system of  claim 8 , wherein the grated tracks are removable. 
     
     
         11 . A drainage system for receiving water from a floor, said drainage system comprising:
 grated tracks having a plurality of openings;   an underneath channel running below said grated tracks;   a drain located on said underneath channel;   a fall strip placed in said underneath channel, wherein said fall strip achieves a slope creating drainage flow to said drain.   
     
     
         12 . The drainage system of  claim 11  wherein said grated tracks and underneath channel are located along a periphery of a shower floor. 
     
     
         13 . The drainage system of  claim 11  further comprising a drain conduit running from said drain to a floor drain.
