FLOOR DRAINS

Floor drain repair or installation is more complicated than many other types of drains, simply because they are difficult to access, and therefore, difficult to fix or install. Our plumbers have the equipment and know how to repair or install a residential or business floor drain with a minimum of mess. We also offer regular servicing of floor drains located in businesses such as salons, gyms, restaurants, and dry cleaners. As our commercial customers can attest, it is well worth the small investment to save the business from downtime due to a clogged floor drain. 

Floor drain clogs can be a real hassle. Over time; soap scum, grease, food particles, hair, and any number of small items that get pushed through the holes in the drain can cause a pretty significant clog. It’s hard to determine if the job is something you can tackle yourself, or if calling in a plumber is necessary.

Tips for Clearing Out Your Floor Drain

We have a little bit of advice if you decide to try and clear it yourself:

1. Using a large sink plunger that covers the drain, plunge the drain with a good amount of force. It can take some muscle, but sometimes you can loosen the clog enough to get water moving again.
   
   
2. While we don’t advise using harsh chemicals, many homeowners do give drain-clearing chemicals a try. Just read the ingredients and be aware that most contain chemicals that can damage your plumbing or cause corrosion over time. Baking soda and vinegar are safe to use!
   
   
3. If all else fails, a plumber’s snake is probably your best bet. Snaking a drain is usually pretty quick and relatively painless, but requires the proper equipment and experience to ensure that the clog is completely cleared and that no damage to your plumbing occurs. That Plumber has the necessary skills and tools to get a floor drain cleared in a jiffy.
