So you’ve noticed a problem with your urinal installation and you’re wondering what to do. First thing’s first: don’t panic!
A faulty urinal doesn’t have to be a messy, stressful, or expensive fix, so long as you catch the problem early and do something about it before it gets worse. Accessing professional commercial plumbing support is the key to avoiding extra dramas and ensuring your FlushMaster urinal system is up to the job.
How can you tell if a urinal is running off course, and what might the symptoms mean? More importantly, what can you do about them? Read on to figure out your next steps.
How to Spot a Faulty Urinal
Fortunately, a faulty urinal is usually easy to spot! This is a good thing, as it allows you to recognise issues while they’re still small and may only require a simple fix. Even if you know nothing about the world of plumbing, you can take control of your installation.
When you walk into the restroom, are you met with a nasty smell? Well-functioning urinals should be squeaky clean with no unpleasant odour, providing that you’re doing your due diligence with daily sanitisation and deep cleans every few months. If your maintenance work is up to scratch and you still find yourself pinching your nose, there’s probably something wrong with the system.
Other clues to a faulty a FlushMaster urinal might include:
a urinal that won’t flush or a flush that keeps running when it shouldn’t;
slow-draining problems or leaky solenoid valves;
in an auto-flush urinal system, the flush sensor might be acting up, triggering at the wrong times or not at all.
What’s the worst that can happen? If your Zip FlushMaster urinal system is in a bar or restaurant environment, you might be left dealing with the damage left behind by drunk punters after a rowdy night out. Nothing brings down the vibe like a problem seeping from the gents area, and nobody wants to call out an emergency plumber on their biggest night of the year!
Knowing the symptoms of a faulty urinal is important because it brings you one step closer to diagnosing the problem. Here’s what a few common issues might mean for your plumbing.
Bad Urinal Smell
If your FlushMaster urinal smells bad, it’s a clear sign that you need a service! Regular maintenance is an important part of ensuring urinals are built to last – and that they stay clean and hygienic. A professional plumber can fix any structural issues that might be causing a foul smell and replace the urinal cake if needed.
Urinal Water Not Draining
Zip FlushMaster urinals can be prone to backed-up drains. If you notice that water isn’t draining the way it should, the fix might be as simple as unclogging the urinal’s internal drain or as complex as snaking the drain line to keep things running smoothly. You might also need the vent stack cleaned so that sewer gases have an easy escape route with no debris blocking the way.
Urinal Won’t Flush
Urinal not flushing the way it’s supposed to? Often, this is a sign that the flushing mechanism is malfunctioning. An automatic urinal flush may need to be cleaned, or the sensor may need to be replaced in order to trigger correctly. A manual urinal flush might require a repair and clean-out to fix mechanics and remove what’s in the way.
Wrong Urinal Flush Pressure
When a Zip urinal’s flush pressure is too high or too low, you won’t be getting the best cleaning results. A plumber might need to fix or replace the flush valve at the top of the system, or they may simply need to adjust the regulator to release more or less water, depending on the issue you’re facing.
Should I Attempt DIY Urinal Repairs?
The short answer is no! DIY urinal repair is rarely a good idea.
Delaying urinal maintenance can create larger issues. What could have been a small, simple, and cost-effective job can easily become a requirement to replace the whole system. If you’re very unlucky, the problem might even result in a flood that damages the entire restroom space!
Attempting to DIY repairs is a recipe for disaster. FlushMaster urinals can be finicky systems, and if you’re not used to working with them, it’s easy to make a mistake.
Unless repairing urinals is your day job, it’s best to leave it to the experts!
