FLOOR DRAINS

Frequently Asked Questions

To prevent clogs in your floor drain, regularly remove debris from the drain cover, avoid pouring grease or other substances down the drain that can solidify or accumulate, and use strainers to catch hair and other materials. Additionally, consider scheduling periodic professional drain cleaning as a preventative measure to remove any buildup that could lead to blockages. Done Plumbing offers comprehensive drain maintenance services, including advice and solutions tailored to keep your floor drains clear and fully operational.

Yes, Done Plumbing can help if your floor drain is backing up. A backup can indicate a clog in the drain itself, the connecting pipes, or even deeper within your home’s sewer line. Our technicians can diagnose the cause of the backup using tools like drain cameras and perform the necessary cleaning or repairs to restore proper drainage. Addressing backups promptly can prevent overflows and water damage, ensuring your drainage system functions as intended.

Floor drains require regular maintenance to ensure they remain clear and functional. This includes: removing debris and buildup from the drain cover, periodically cleaning the trap to prevent clogs, and flushing the drain with water to prevent odors. For drains that are used infrequently, pouring water into the trap regularly is important to maintain the water seal that prevents sewer gases from entering your home. Join the 1st Service Club and let Done Plumbing provide professional cleaning and maintenance services to keep your floor drains in optimal condition and help prevent future blockages.

Floor drains are typically connected to your home’s sewer system through a series of pipes that allow water to flow away from your home. In some cases, they may be connected to a sump pit or a municipal storm sewer, depending on local plumbing codes and the specific design of your home’s drainage system. The connection is designed to ensure that water is efficiently removed while preventing sewer gases from entering your home, thanks to traps and vents integrated into the drainage system.

The primary purpose of a floor drain in your basement, garage, or any utility area is to efficiently remove water and prevent flooding. These drains are especially crucial in spaces susceptible to water accumulation from indoor sources (like washing machines) or outdoor elements (such as rain or melting snow). By channeling water away from your home, floor drains help protect your property from water damage, reduce the risk of mold and mildew growth, and maintain a safer, drier environment.
