Green Drain™ Trap Seal Solution

Sewer odours often produce a foul smell in buildings including floor drains. This will in turn trigger the start of bacteria spread that causes potential health hazards. In fact, traditional floor drains could become an easy doorway for pests such as flies, cockroaches and rats to breed. In addition, the trap primers need to be replaced often and may become a hassle and disruption to homes and commercial spaces. Lastly, we need to also consider the regular chemical treatments as part of a premise maintenance regime, that costs both time and investment.

Understanding contaminants such as stagnant water and sewer gases

Sewer gases are a by-product of decomposing human waste. Often the foul smell in building drains, showers and sinks are a result of plumbing failures, most likely by loss of or dried out trap. This is due to cracked pipes or air vents, evaporation, blockages somewhere altering the pressure in a building, sucking out the body of water leaving no protection. Sewer gases in small doses aren’t harmful, however in large doses can be toxic, nauseating, cause loss of consciousness and even death. Some commercial buildings install automatic trap primers with the sole purpose of pumping water into the drains to prime them.

Stagnant water in a trap contains bacteria, an ideal environment for pests to lay their larvae and breed. The bacteria adhere to the pipe and develops Biofilm, its own mucosal protective organism layer. Biofilm is self-sufficient, develops and travels. As it sheds it can become airborne, infiltrating our own living and working spaces and transmitting via air vents and air-conditioning units. This will in turn trigger the start of pathogen spread that causes potential health hazards throughout entire buildings.
