Frequently Asked Questions and Answers
  • Why Do I need ODORSTOP?

    +

    Every sink pipes, floor drains, toilets and urinaries are connected to sanitary pipes that lead to sewer lines. As you often smell odor around sewer halls on the street, wastewater in sewer lines are not chemically treated yet. Whether you realize it or not, odor, gas and insects are constantly coming into your house through the pipes from sewer line. Of course, there's traps(J,P,U) to prevent odor, gas and insects. But don't you still smell odor anyways or see insects crawling in your sinks? Even worse, floor drains and urinaries don't have traps but go straight down to the sanitary pipes. That's why you need ODORSTOP under your sinks, on floor drains and maybe on urinaries.

In addition, chlorine bleaches, industrial solvents, and gasoline are frequently present in municipal and privately owned-sewage treatment systems.

  • How are people exposed to sewer gas?
