The job
The primer adds a small amount of water to the trap whenever another fixture runs.
The spots
It serves floor drains in basements, mechanical rooms, and commercial spaces.
The symptom
A sewer smell from a floor drain usually means a dry trap and a failed primer.
The call
Keep the traps sealed. Call 888-217-3585 and Coachella Plumbing Pros will match you with a Coachella pro.
