Story from the Field: Slater Ave Laundry Room Flood
Couple months ago, we got a call from a homeowner near Slater and Bushard. Their laundry room had a slow floor drain for months. Then it rained hard one weekend and water started backing up into the hallway.
We scoped it out and found a wad of lint and hair about six feet down the line. Popped it out with a power auger and followed up with a camera check. The pipe was clear, but the trap was old cast iron with a minor crack. We replaced the section with ABS and reset the grate. Now the homeowner’s got peace of mind when it storms.
Most people don’t think about floor drains ‘til they fail. That’s why we take ‘em seriously.
