A floor drain is a plumbing fixture that is typically installed in the floor of a building, usually in areas such as basements, bathrooms, laundry rooms, and kitchens. It functions to collect wastewater and any other liquids that may spill or leak on the floor, and transfer it to the building's sewage system.
Floor drains are an important component in building design as they serve to prevent water damage to floors, walls, and other structures. They are particularly useful in areas that are prone to flooding or spills, allowing excess water to be quickly and efficiently removed from the space. Properly installed and maintained floor drains can also help prevent the growth of mold and mildew by ensuring that moisture is not allowed to accumulate and remain stagnant. In addition, floor drains are often required by building codes and regulations to ensure the safety and health of building occupants.
