Floor and Basement Drains by Nashville Plumbers
Keep the lowest drain in the house working.
The overview

What it is, and why it matters.

A floor drain is the last line of defense in a basement, laundry room or garage. When it clogs, smells like sewage or backs up, the lowest part of your Nashville home pays the price. Dry traps let sewer gas in, and debris or roots slow the flow.

We clean and test the drain, repair broken pieces, add trap primers or seals to stop odors and install new drains or backwater valves where a basement needs protection. For commercial spaces we also service grease-laden and floor sink lines.

Good questions

Floor and Basement Drains: common questions

Why does my basement floor drain smell?

Most often the trap has dried out and lets sewer gas rise. Refilling it can help for a while, and a trap primer keeps it filled permanently.

What is a backwater valve?

It is a valve in the drain line that closes if sewage tries to flow backward from the main, protecting a basement from backups during heavy storms or main-line problems.
