A Complete Guide to Taking Apart Odor-Proof Drains

The odor-proof floor drain at home is broken. We can replace the floor drain by disassembling it. The steps for disassembling the odor-proof floor drain can be divided into the following four steps. Below, I will briefly introduce them.

Prepare the tools

The odor-proof floor drain is fixed to the ground with cement mortar, so we need relevant tools to disassemble it. Generally, we should prepare a chisel, hammer, cutting machine, broom, cloth, and other related tools.

Remove the floor drain

When removing the floor drain, we can first take off the drain cover and filter screen. Then, use the cutting machine to cut along the edge of the floor drain. Next, we place the edge of the chisel against the joint between the floor drain and the tile and strike the tail of the chisel with a hammer to loosen the tiles below the drain. We can hit around the floor drain several times with the hammer and chisel, then insert the chisel into the floor drain and strike the chisel’s tail with the hammer. Additionally, we should strike the surface of the floor drain multiple times. Once the cement mortar at the drain is loosened, we can then take out the odor-proof floor drain.

Surface treatment

First, we ball up a cloth and insert it into the drain pipe to prevent any remaining cement mortar from falling into the drain and causing a blockage. Next, we use the chisel and hammer to remove any residual cement blocks from the drain. During this process, we can determine the depth of the opening based on the installation depth of the new floor drain. The next step involves using the cutting machine to handle the edge of the installation area of the floor drain. After all the residual cement blocks are removed, we can use a small brush and broom to clean up the cement debris on the floor.
