Breathe Easy: Say Goodbye to Nasty Odours with Our Professional Urinal Maintenance Service
If your urinals stink, they are not being serviced correctly.
Male public bathrooms that have the distinctive urine odour generally only have that “lovely” odour for four reasons:
-
poor air extraction and ventilation
-
substandard cleaning practices
-
floor waste traps that are poorly maintained
-
urinals that are not regularly serviced and maintained
At Whywait Plumbing Service, we are specialists in keeping your bathroom facilities in a healthy environment. Our product range and specialised services ensure your bathrooms are correctly maintained, hygienic, and have an odour-free experience for your employees and customers.
Don’t Get Caught with Your Pants Down: Learn Who Can Legally Maintain Your Urinals and Keep Your Bathroom Odour Free
Despite the fake claims of many cleaning and hygiene companies, it is illegal for them to undertake any maintenance or servicing work on urinals apart from cleaning them.
Whywait Plumbing Services recommends that cleaners protect themselves from potential infections and fines and refuse to break the law. We always ensure that only licensed plumbers undertake our urinal maintenance and servicing.
Building owners, cleaning company owners, building operations managers and supervisors all leave themselves open to large fines and potential civil damages claims for directing cleaners to service and maintain any urinal illegally.
Plumbers, unlike cleaners, are trained to undertake tasks such as clearing drains or working on toilets or urinals. These tasks require specialised training, diagnostic skills and an awareness of health and safety issues.
Legally Only an Expert Plumber Licensed by QBCC Can Take Care of Your Urinals
In Queensland, urinal maintenance is not just a matter of hygiene but a legal requirement. Expert plumbers, licensed by the Queensland Government’s QBCC, must ensure that urinals are serviced and maintained in strict compliance with WaterMark certification.
This adherence is mandated by several legislative acts, including:
-
Building and Construction Legislation (Non-conforming Building Products – Chain of Responsibility and Other Matters) Amendment Act 2017
-
Plumbing and Drainage Act 2018
-
Plumbing and Drainage Regulation 2019
This underscores the paramount importance of maintaining urinals not only for health and hygiene but also for legal compliance and public safety.
No Water, No Problem: Keep Your Waterless Urinals in Top Shape with Our Maintenance and Servicing Solutions
Servicing waterless urinals is an integral part of any maintenance regime for all manufacturers of waterless urinals. Waterless urinals are explicitly engineered to function without wasting water to flush them and use one of three systems to operate:
-
oil-based odour barrier systems
-
mechanical traps and one-way valves
-
biological systems
Every waterless urinal uses different parts and requires servicing at a differing timeframe. In addition, under Queensland law and the WaterMark approval system on all urinals, it is illegal to use substitute parts. This is because these parts are not the genuine WaterMark tested and approved components for each urinal model under their WaterMark approval.
At Whywait Plumbing, we are waterless urinal servicing specialists for ZeroFlush, Uridan, Falcon, Caroma, Urimat, Britex, Arid, and Waterless.
We use only genuine parts from each manufacturer on all waterless urinals and will not use illegal parts from Desert Eco, Enswico, Fresh & Clean or Whiffaway, to name a few.
Our waterless urinal servicing equipment is job-specific for the servicing of urinals. It includes a purpose-built electric mini water jetrodding unit to remove all calcium/magnesium build-ups such as calcium phosphate, struvite and scale that build up in urinal traps, bend and junction walls in the drain piping.
No Water, No Problem: Keep Your Waterless Urinals in Top Shape with Our Maintenance and Servicing Solutions
The situation at Brisbane Airport serves as a cautionary tale about the importance of compliance in urinal maintenance.
As the photos above and below illustrate, even the professional property managers at Brisbane Airport can be duped into installing non-conforming and non-compliant Desert No Flush Cartridge into their 246 urinals.
It was beguiled by representatives of Desert in 2018 that they could remove all of the genuine WaterMark-compliant parts from Uridan, Caroma and ZeroFlush urinals and replace them with their “advanced technology” that was much more affordable, environmentally friendly and better for urinal cleaning.
Within six months, they were all removed after multiple continuous issues with blockages and odour complaints. The genuine Uridan, Caroma and ZeroFlush parts were reinstalled to ensure the airport urinals were again legally compliant and performing as per their WaterMark approvals.
Flush Away Your Urinal Troubles: Experience Our Expert Maintenance and Servicing Solutions for Water Flushing Urinals to Ensure Optimal Flushing and Drainage
The misconception that water flushing urinals are flushed clean with water is a common belief and is wrong for multiple reasons. The reality is that water-flushing urinals require regular scheduled servicing.
Water-flushing urinals have been installed for over 100 years and come as individual urinals or sizeable stainless steel troughs. For flushing water down the walls of the urinal, there are several different technologies still in widespread use:
-
a storage cistern with a manually operated button or handle
-
a manually operated exposed flush valve above the urinal
-
a timing switch where multiple urinals are connected to a single cistern with a constant drip-feed of water slowly filling the cistern until a tipping point is reached and the valve opens to flush all the urinals
-
a door-regulated flush where a switch is located into the door frame and flushes the urinals every time the door opens
-
an electronic movement detector that flushes the urinal after motion is detected in the bathroom
Every water-flushing urinal installation differs from multiple choices for the actual flushing technology. At Whywait Plumbing Services, we have had a long experience maintaining water-flushing urinals and frequently work on urinals from Caroma, Britex, Stoddart, Zip, Zurn, Sloan, and numerous other brands.
Call us today to provide a water-flushing urinal servicing proposal, where we will undertake an onsite assessment of the entire facility. This is an absolute necessity due to the multiple solutions and installations available. Our urinal servicing equipment is job-specific for urinals. It includes a purpose-built electric mini water jetrodding unit to remove all calcium/magnesium build-ups such as calcium phosphate, struvite and scale.
As water-flushing urinals have become very low flush, we need to clean the build-up in urinal traps, bend and junction wall piping at least annually.
