There are many different types of drains in most companies. The most common commercial drains include the following:
- Specific-Area Drains – These drains offer overflow protection in many areas of your business, including locker rooms, showers, and restrooms.
- Sanitary Drains – Sanitary drains are corrosion-resistant and seamless and are in locations where they need to help reduce the risk of contamination and bacterial accumulation.
- Catch Basins – A catch basin is a custom-designed drain that serves as a collection point for rounded trench, v-bottom, or flat-bottom drains.
- Trench Drains – A trench drain is often used to provide overflow drainage in locations that serve beverages and food.
- Floor Sinks – A floor sink is typically covered with light, medium, or heavy perforated gratings.
- Deep Sump Drains – Sump drains are designed in areas with heavy volume applications, including places with hazardous waste processing, industrial kitchens, and meatpacking plants.
- Double Containment Drains – These types of drains help manage condensation in intense cold and high-heat areas when used with trench gates, floor sinks, and catch basin drainage systems.
