Two Easy Steps to Fix Sewer Gas Emissions in Empty Buildings
Many buildings are sitting empty during the COVID-19 epidemic—don’t let sewer gas smell prevent you from reopening.
Due to Shelter-in-Place and Stay-at-Home orders around the world, many buildings are sitting empty. Those vacancies mean your drains are being used infrequently, if at all, and are likely to emit sewer gases. We have an easy and affordable fix that takes just a minute or two to implement, and no special tools are required.
10 Year Warranty, Simple to Install, and Easy to Remove—No Special Tools Needed, Fits Almost Any Floor Drain
Our labor-saving “Stink Stopper” Quad Close® Trap Seal automatically closes to minimize evaporation in floor drains and opens to allow water in. The “Stink Stopper” is made from a chemically resistant elastomer and is available in several sizes guaranteed to fit almost any drain. You simply pop the Quad Close Trap Seal into the drain’s strainer throat, and sewer gases are sealed off. Installation is usually a one-step process. However, in the situation we find ourselves in now, where buildings have been vacant for weeks, we recommend priming the floor drain trap with water after installing the device.
Has your building already opened? Installing Quad Close Trap Seals now is an excellent preventative measure to avoid or fix a sewer gas smell. No one could have predicted the shutdowns we are now experiencing or just coming out of. Therefore, we are unlikely to predict what we might face in the future. Isn’t it better to be prepared? Especially when preparing is such a simple thing to do.
