Troubleshooting
Slow drainage or standing water.
Verify that the shower tray has the correct gradient towards the linear drain. Check the drain channel and outlet for any obstructions like hair or debris and clear them. Ensure the trap is properly installed and not blocked.
Odors from the drain.
The water seal in the trap may have dried out. Run water into the drain for a minute to refill the trap. Ensure the drain cover is seated correctly and not allowing excessive evaporation.
Leaking around the drain.
The waterproofing membrane may not have been properly sealed to the drain body. This requires professional assessment and potentially re-sealing. Ensure all connections were made with appropriate sealants and followed installation guidelines.
Tile insert does not fit correctly.
Double-check the tile dimensions and ensure they match the size required for the cover. Trim tiles carefully if necessary, ensuring a snug fit without forcing.
