Solutions for Insufficient Depth in Relocated Floor Drains

We often see floor drains in our daily lives. So, what should we do if the floor drain is displaced and the depth is insufficient?

What should we do if the floor drain is displaced and the depth is insufficient?

First, find a professional to measure the depth of the pipeline. For modified pipelines, you can choose T-shaped floor drains or gravity flip drains. During the floor drain relocation, a space of 5 cm should be left. Normally, you need to create a groove of 2 cm in the original ground, and with the height of the cement sand, it should be sufficient.

What are the points to pay attention to during floor drain construction?

1. Before the floor drain construction, you need to select the appropriate floor drain based on the diameter of the drainage pipe. The normal diameter of the water pipe is 50 mm PVC material. If it is an iron pipe, the caliber will be slightly larger. The holes left for drainage pipes during handover are usually large, and they need to be adjusted again during renovation, then the drainage pipe should be made according to the specifications of the floor drain.

2. If it is the construction of kitchen or bathroom floor drains, you must check the slope. When installing, you need to create the corresponding slope around the floor drain, so that water can flow down.

3. The construction of the floor drain should be done simultaneously with the laying of the floor tiles. Therefore, special attention should be paid to the specifications of the floor drain. First, apply cement to the back of the floor drain's base, then position it towards the drainage outlet, and finally cover it with the floor drain cover and fix it.

4. After the floor drain is installed and secured, you should additionally seal the edges with glass glue or an adhesive. Then you need to test the floor drain by pouring water inside to check its drainage performance, ensuring that the surrounding slope is reasonable. After that, remove the seal core to check if it has been blocked by cement.

5. Ensure that the position of the floor drain is level and free of leakage. It should be installed at the lowest point, with the bottom surface being about 5 mm lower than the finished floor level.

In summary：this is the solution for insufficient depth after the floor drain is displaced. From the above article, we can see that we must be careful and diligent during the floor drain construction, paying strict attention to aspects such as the material and position of the floor drain to avoid subsequent issues. I hope this can help everyone.
