Repairing Your Damaged or Clogged Floor Drain

Is your floor drain backing up? RooterMan provides a variety of repair services to get your floor drain working properly. Floor drains are commonly found in laundry rooms, basements, utility rooms, garages, commercial restrooms, kitchens, or any other place where water may need to be drained.

Floor drains are meant to drain off any standing water from the floor in areas where it pools. The floor around the drain is sloped to allow water to flow into it. Your floor drain can be identified by locating a grated strainer that is visible on the floor.

Floor drains get little attention until they clog and puddles start to form, causing your basement or other area to become flooded. It is a good idea to get it fixed as soon as possible. RooterMan has decades of experience when it comes to repairing floor drains, so call us right away. We always pick up the phone and emergency services are available 24/7!

Some Common Floor Drain Problems

• Clogged Floor Drains - Pieces of debris and sludge build up on the walls of the floor drain pipes until they eventually become clogged. This is the most common cause of a clogged floor drain. The first signs of clogging floor drain will often start as small puddles forming around the floor drain. Another sign is a sewage smell coming from the floor drain.

• Crystallization Inside the Floor Drain Pipes - Crystallization inside the floor drain pipes can be caused by soaps or sweetened liquids such as soda or coffee. As these liquids pass through the pipes, they can leave residue behind that builds up and hardens, until the pipes become restricted or completely closed. Overflow and flooding can occur when your floor drains are not working properly.

• Drain Pipe Breaks - As drain pipes age, they can form cracks and breaks. If you can pour a large volume of water down your floor drain with no pooling whatsoever, then your drain pipe may be cracked or broken. RooterMan can diagnose pipe breaks by using a specialized video camera to perform pipe inspections. Real-time visual inspections of pipes let us find out what condition they are in without having to dig them up.
