Water for Life Update: Dealing with Foul Odors as People Return to Work

Hello,

This is Robert Kravitz.

I'm a writer for the building industry, and this is another Water Is Life Update from Waterless Co., Inc.

Say, it was announced here in Chicago that many of the major employers have set Monday, September 12, 2022, as the day they expect – if not require – their employees to return to work.

Many of these buildings have been closed for two years. As they reopen, it's been reported that many now have a foul odor inside. According to building engineers, what's happening is that the unpleasant odors are coming from floor drains.

Here's what's happening. The water in the U-trap underneath the drain, which usually holds water to block sewer odors from entering the facility, has dried up.

Fortunately, this is an easy fix but an essential fix. Those foul odors are often dangerous gases that can be health risking to building users.

Here's all we need to do. Products available, referred to as "ever prime" or "ever primer," can be poured down these drains. A few ounces does the trick. It's a simple, $2.30 per drain solution.

Fast and easy, this will end the odors and ensure workers return to fresh, smelling, clean, healthy buildings.
