The role and purpose of building traps

A building trap is a device, fittings or set of fittings installed in a building’s main drain to prevent air circulation between the building’s drainage system and sewer system.

The purpose of this structure is to prevent hazardous sewer gases from entering your home. Thus, a little liquid remains in the lower part of the U-shaped building trap, which doesn”t allow harmful gases from the city sewer to penetrate your home.

When should you contact a specialist?

You may face some building trap problems that require calling a certified specialist. The most common are as follows:

  • Drain odours: If there is a persistent foul odour coming from your drain, it indicates potential problems with your plumbing system. Contact a specialist to identify and eliminate the source of the unpleasant odour.
  • Difficulty draining water: Troubles with draining water, such as a slow or clogged drain, can compromise your entire plumbing system. A certified plumber has special equipment to check for blockages and remove them safely.
  • Noises in the drainage system: Unusual noises in the drainage system usually indicate airflow issues or blockages. This problem shouldn’t be ignored, as gurgling or bubbling can lead to more severe problems, including complete system shutdown.
  • Water leaks: Visible leaks or signs of water damage can put your plumbing system and home at risk. To properly eliminate a leak, it is necessary to discover the cause to prevent reoccurring issues, which only a specialist can handle.
  • Ineffective building trap operation: If a building trap doesn’t work effectively, causing sewer gas odour or other problems, immediately contact specialists. They can inspect your building trap and replace or fix it, ensuring it runs smoothly to prevent odours and health hazards.
