Signs That You Have A Blocked Floor Waste Drain
Recognising the signs that your floor waste drain is starting to become blocked will save you time and money, by getting it fixed before it become a major problem.
.
1. Slow Drainage
One of the main signs that your floor waste drain is becoming blocked is where more than one of your drains in your bathroom is draining slowly. For example both your bath and shower drains, or even your vanity sink drain are all draining more slowly than normal. You may even have a puddle of water in your shower recess, bathtub or vanity sink.. All of these signs indicate that there is a blockage in your floor waste drain.
3. Water coming out of the floor waste drain
If you have water, or even worse, sewer coming out of your floor waste drain it is a sign that the drain is blocked. Its most likely a hair blockage in the floor waste, every time the shower, basin and/or bath are used the water will rise up out of the floor waste. It can also mean that there is a further problem down stream, if your house does not have and Overflow Relief Gully (ORG) the sewage may rise up out of the floor waste.
2. Bad Odours Coming From Your Bathroom
Often a bad odour is a sign there is something causing a blockage in your floor waste drain.
The bad odour could be caused by muck, hair or slime that has built up in any or all of your bathroom drains. This build up has caused not only a partial blockage but a bad odour as well. This type of blockage often attracts drain flies.
4. Water Not Draining in Cyclone Effect
For baths and vanity sinks, if you notice, when you lift the plug, that the water is not spiralling down the drain pipe (cyclone effect) then this can indicate a blockage that could be close to being a full blockage.
MAIN CAUSES OF BLOCKED FLOOR DRAINS
There are many causes of blocked floor waste drains including the buildup of hair, gunk and soap scum. In particular the build of hair is a common problem – especially for showers, and to a lesser extent baths and sinks.
For showers, hair wraps and entangles into a large matted ball and catches in the trap of the shower drainage system. Body oils and soap add to the problem by catching on the hair balls.
For bathtubs, hair gets caught in the strainer cover or even further down the pipe.
However, by regularly maintaining all the drains in your bathroom, including your floor waste drain it will help ensure that they don’t become blocked.
How we Fix Blocked Floor Waste Drains
We use various techniques and equipment to fix blocked drains, including blocked floor waste drains. In fact, we have extensive experience in fixing blocked floor waste drains – especially for Sydney’s North Shore and Northern Beaches.
STEP ONE - Locate Blockage
The first step in fixing a blocked floor waste drain is finding where the blockage is. Our first step is to remove the grate from floor waste drain in order to visually inspect where the blockage is.
STEP TWO - Clear Blockage
Once the blockage has been identifited and located, we then decide on the best equipment to clear the floor waste drain. For example if the blockage is only in the grate or trap we would generally use a mini eel to remove it or acid to chemically dissolve the blockage. For more complicated blocked floor waste drains we can use the water jetter and CCTV drain camera as the blockage is further down the line and would need to be accessed from outside your property.
