The 3 Worst Causes of Urinal Drain Line Blockage (And How to Fix Them)
Facility Maintenance Engineers hate to go into a restroom, reeking from urinal backups and sewer gasses.
- Most obvious cause of this obstruction, is uratic salts, (from urine), that block the lines. Uratic salts or uric salts, are a crystalline substance, that can form to become as dense as concrete. When this occurs the blockage is a major concern. - That's why its common to see black garbage bags, covering the urinals, that are pending repair.
- Waterless urinals have become the leading candidate, for urinal blockage. The replaceable cartridge in these fixtures, have a capacity to capture only a small amount of these uratic salts deposits. If the cartridge is not replaced in a timely fashion, a super saturated solution (like epoxy) oozes out. This excess, will quickly block your urinal drain line. Additionally, bacteria utilize the uratic salts, to form scale for protection. These CFU's (colony forming units) are highly adaptable and are most definitely pathogenic.
- Too often, people do not bother to flush the urinals, after use. It's a sanitation issue. The uratic salts settle in the trap and then, in short-time it solidifies. That's when your problem comes to light.
- And, how about that nasty odor... As previously mentioned, its probably sewer gases. It can also be the malodor from the lack of urinal sanitation. Urine will crystallize on the porcelain fixture and create a powerful source of stink.
