What if the floor drain hole is too low?

The problem of low floor drain hole is very common in residential decoration, which may be caused by insufficient thickness after floor paving or inaccurate installation position of floor drain. When the local leakage hole is too low, the drainage speed of drainage facilities such as shower, washbasin and kitchen will slow down, which will lead to problems such as sewage backflow. These problems not only affect the health of bathing, but also may affect the living environment. The following are several ways to deal with the floor drain hole is too low.

Method 1: Adjust the floor paving height.

If the floor drain hole is too low due to insufficient thickness after floor paving, the height of floor paving can be adjusted to solve the problem. This method may be more suitable for new houses because it is easier to adjust. However, this may require dismantling the ground pavement, readjusting the ground substructure and resurfacing the pavement, which will take some time and cost.

Method 2: Replace the floor drain.

If the floor drain is not installed accurately, it may be necessary to replace the floor drain to solve the problem. When replacing the floor drain, you need to choose the same model, size and height as the original one. Improper selection of floor drain may lead to incomplete drainage or excessive drainage, which may also bring problems.

Method 3: Increase the height of floor drain.

If readjusting the floor pavement or replacing the floor drain can't solve the problem, we can consider increasing the height of the floor drain on the basis of in-situ leakage. The height of floor drain can be extended by special floor drain or reinforced by steel pipe. This method is simple and convenient, but it should be noted that increasing the height of the floor drain may lead to poor drainage or excessive drainage.

To sum up, there are three main ways to deal with low-lying vulnerabilities. If the situation is not particularly serious, the third method can be adopted, that is, increasing the height of the floor drain, which is a simple and effective solution. If the situation is serious, it may be necessary to readjust the floor pavement or replace the floor drain, which will take more time and cost. Most importantly, before any treatment, it is necessary to accurately determine the height and type of floor drain holes in order to take appropriate solutions.
