Question:
I have a manhole cover in my lawn 30cm x 30 cm which is hard plastic but solid top.I am looking at your Deckdrain catch pit item. My present drain cover is screwed down in 4 corners.The manhole covers one drain which is water from the upstairs shower and solids from the upstairs toilet both shower and toilet/sink being in the same en suite room. I am having a foul smell emanating from the upstairs shower.I have tried using baking soda and vinegar which cures it for a short period of time.I wonder then by using your product, which I assume is vented,this might help the foul air to escape from the drains? Can you advise please.Many thanks
Answer:
I appreciate your detailed description of the issue. The DekDrain Catch Pit Grating (300mm x 300mm) is indeed a vented cover which allows for better air circulation compared to a solid top. This increased ventilation may help alleviate the foul smell you're experiencing. However, it's essential to understand that the smell could be due to a more complicated issue, such as a blocked or damaged pipe, which might need professional attention. As for the fit, the DekDrain Catch Pit Grating is designed to fit a 300mm x 300mm opening, similar to your current cover. However, it's worth noting that the DekDrain grating doesn't come with screw holes for securing it in place. It features a handle for easy removal and placement, but it's not designed to be screwed down. In conclusion, while the DekDrain Catch Pit Grating could potentially help with your issue, I would strongly recommend consulting a drainage professional to diagnose and address the source of the smell. They may be able to provide a more permanent solution to this problem.
