DECLOGGING GARRAGE DRAIN SERVICES

A garage, particularly those used for automotive repair, needs a large floor drain to get rid of grease and fuel spilled on the floor. Instead of using residential-grade round or small square strainer, a floor drain in a garage is usually made of a narrow yet long trench in the floor (trench drain). Commercial garages may require an oil or grease separator. It is more difficult and expensive to install, but a properly designed commercial floor drain works best to control not only water, but also chemicals, oil, grease, or petroleum spills. A trench drain, or typical floor drain, intended for rain water may lead to a dry well. From which the wastewater will be absorbed into the ground.

Garage floor drains get a lot of abuse, from dog hair to snow runoff to oil. With so much unmentionable gunk flowing down the drain, it’s no wonder it can easily become clogged. If your garage drain is backing up, use this guide to help get things flowing smoothly again.

CAUSES CLOGGED GARAGE FLOOR DRAINS
Once the floor drain is flowing smoothly again, you want to keep it that way. This requires you to pinpoint the underlying problem that caused the garage drain to back up in the first place. These might include:

• Blocked sewer line: If the main sewer line clogs, the drain at the lowest point in your house will start to overflow first. This could be the garage floor drain, especially if you don’t have a basement. Other signs of a sewer clog include a gurgling tub drain or bubbling toilet when you turn on a faucet.
• Frozen drain pipe: If you first noticed the clogged garage drain on a bitterly cold morning, there could be ice further down the pipe. You may need to excavate and insulate the pipe to prevent it from freezing. This is important because repeat freezing and thawing may cause the frozen pipe to burst and leak into the soil. This also opens a new gateway for dirt and debris to enter the plumbing.
• Pipe crystallization: Sugary liquids, soap, and urine leave sediment behind when they travel down a dry drain. Over time, this builds up, causing crystallized matter to form inside the pipe. A professional plumbing tool may be required to break through this.
