What is a Floor Waste, Anyway?

Notice that small drain in the centre of the bathroom? That’s a floor waste. More often than not, floor wastes drain to a central repository pipe along with the shower and bath, and sometimes there’s even a floor waste in the loo, if the toilet is in a separate room from the bathroom. These drains are designed to filter overflow from other plumbing in the room, preventing flooding. For example, if a shower overflows, rather than water accumulating on the floor, it is sucked into the floor waste where it can be safely and conveniently flushed away!

Floor wastes are also the way in which baths and showers empty. The pipes at the base of a shower and bath feed into the central pipe below the floor waste, then into the plumbing below. When a floor waste blocks, it can block the shower and bath, too! If you’re experiencing a bath or shower blocked drain, it’s probable the fault is with the floor waste. So don’t wait!

How Do They Block?

As Sydney’s blocked drains specialists, we’ve had over thirty years of experience unclogging floor wastes. Every situation is different. We’ve seen floor wastes clogged with hair, dental floss, soap scum, excess grease from hair gel or moisturisers. Basically, anything that can build up and isn’t easily dissolvable can lead directly to a blocked floor waste.

Our fully certified, qualified and experienced plumbers have seen it all. We’ve got the team who know how to solve your floor waste problems, and solve them for good.

Soap scum and greasy moisturisers or hair gels are often the culprit. Not thought of in the shower, these can be carried in drips and drabs into the floor waste. Over time, along with soap scum, they can accumulate and slow or prevent the flow of water through the waste. Furthermore, with the floor waste connected to the shower, any grime from the shower itself can contribute to a floor waste blockage. The likely culprit of a floor waste blockage is a shower or bath filtering material into the drainage pipe below the floor waste.

In this case, it’s sometimes a simple matter of twisting off the grate above the waste and removing any matter that has become stuck. While this might sound gross, it’s better than a flood! Hair in particular can be easily removed from a floor waste without too much difficulty.
