Sewer odors often cause a foul smell within buildings including floor drains. This unpleasant odor triggers the start of bacteria spread, leading to potential health hazards. In fact, traditional floor drains are an easy doorway for pests like flies, cockroaches, and rats to enter and breed.
Traditional systems also require frequent maintenance:
Trap primers often need to be replaced, causing hassle and disruption in homes and commercial spaces.
Regular chemical treatments are usually necessary as part of the maintenance regime, which costs both time and money.
Sewer gases are a natural byproduct of decomposing human waste. The foul smell often found in building drains, showers, and sinks is usually the result of a plumbing failure, most often a lost or dried-out water trap. This happens due to issues like cracked pipes, air vents, evaporation, or blockages that alter pressure, removing the protective water barrier.
While sewer gases are harmless in small doses, large doses can be toxic. Exposure can cause nausea, loss of consciousness, and even death. Some commercial buildings try to counter this by installing automatic trap primers to constantly pump water into the drains.
Stagnant water in a trap contains bacteria and is an ideal breeding environment for pests to lay their larvae. These bacteria cling to the pipe and develop a protective, mucosal layer called Biofilm.
Biofilm is self-sufficient, grows, and spreads. When pieces shed, it can become airborne, infiltrating living and working spaces through air vents and air conditioning units. This triggers the spread of pathogens, causing potential health hazards throughout entire buildings.
We introduce the innovative Green Drain™ Trap Seal, a waterless, one-way trap valve for floor drains.
Installation: It is easy to install and remove, requiring no caulk or expensive tools, saving significant time, water, cost, and energy.
Benefits: It eliminates odors, germs, bugs, and harmful gases.
