Troubleshooting

Water pooling on the floor former surface

Ensure the floor former is installed level and the drain is not blocked. Check that the waste pipe has adequate fall.

Drain is slow to empty

Check the drain trap and waste pipe for any blockages. Clean out any debris that may have accumulated.

Adhesive not bonding properly

Ensure the subfloor and the floor former surface are clean, dry, and free from dust or contaminants before applying adhesive.
