Does A Shower Need A Waste Trap?

Shower wastes are not a legal requirement in the UK, however most new build properties will have them installed.

If you have a shower trap installed, it's important to keep it clean and free from blockages to ensure optimal drainage.

How Do Shower Waste Traps Work?

Shower wastes work by trapping the water in the drain and then releasing it slowly. This prevents any smells or odours from filtering back into the room, as well as preventing blockages.
