Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Aug 14, 2013 8:13 pm Hi guys, I am having floor wastes in my bathrooms (one in shower and another one in centre of the bathroom) I am worried about the smell that will come up from the floor waste especially downstairs where it sits on concrete slabs (meaning there cannot be an s-bend on the pipework, so there could be smell coming straight up) I have come across 3 types of accessories that you can plug into the floor waste to prevent smell coming up Deks GrateMate http://www.deks.com.au/wp-content/uploa ... teMate.pdf Aussie Drain Mate http://www.aussiedrainmate.com.au/faq/ Grate Seal http://www.grateseal.com.au/ Drain Fresh http://www.reece.com.au/new/pdf/products/drainfresh.pdf I did a search and I cannot find many results where people talk about this here, so I thought I might open the thread to see who have used them and what you think about it. Does it really work? Do you have it on your floor waste? Does it really smell if you don't have these? Thanks Re: Anyone tried Aussie Drain Mate/Grate Seal/Dekfit Grate M 2Aug 14, 2013 8:45 pm Intriguing. Are smelly floor wastes a common problem?! I can't believe there are so many different products available hehe. I remember one instance of a smelly floor waste at our house and I poured some draino in there and it was fine. Sorry I can't help! We're having tiled wastes.

The shower and sinks join in at the side of the floor waste, the trap is directly below the floor waste itself. We are getting some smells there because I think we don't get enough water flow through the trap (low-flow shower heads). If the smell is bad I simply fill a sink and flush the trap quickly, this will get rid of the smell. I'll let you know how I go with the Grate Seals when I get them.
