Hospital facility and engineering teams operate under relentless pressure—keeping critical systems functioning, maintaining strict sanitation standards, and preventing costly breakdowns. From clogged drains and odor issues to moisture damage and biofilm buildup, small problems can quickly escalate into serious compliance risks and patient safety concerns.
At Brodi, we understand these challenges, which is why we develop industrial-strength solutions that eliminate maintenance headaches before they turn into emergencies. Let’s look at a few common hospital maintenance issues and how Brodi’s specialized products can make your job easier.
1. Clogged Drains & Biofilm Buildup – LiquiFlo
The Problem:
Hospital drains are breeding grounds for biofilm—a stubborn layer of bacteria and organic waste that clogs pipes and releases harmful microbial growth into the air. Over time, this buildup reduces drainage efficiency, increases odors, and poses sanitation risks in kitchens, restrooms, and maintenance areas.
The Solution:
LiquiFlo is an industrial-grade drain opener and maintainer designed to break down biofilm at the molecular level. Unlike traditional acid-based drain cleaners that can damage pipes and release toxic fumes, LiquiFlo uses a highly alkaline, fumeless formula that:
✔ Dissolves grease, food waste, and organic matter instantly
✔ Eliminates biofilm, reducing bacterial contamination risks
✔ Prevents recurring blockages, keeping drains clear longer
✔ Safe for all plumbing materials, ensuring longevity
Regular use of LiquiFlo in floor drains, kitchen sinks, and medical facility restrooms helps reduce emergency maintenance calls and keeps drainage systems compliant with health and safety standards.
2. Urinal Scale & Odor Control – Crete
The Problem:
Hard water in hospitals leads to calcium and scale buildup in urinals, restricting water flow and causing persistent odor issues. Traditional cleaners only mask the problem or provide short-term relief, forcing facility teams into a constant cycle of maintenance.
The Solution:
Crete is a heavy-duty urinal descaler that chemically breaks down calcium deposits, scale, and organic waste at the source. Its foaming formula penetrates deep into drain lines, ensuring complete removal of buildup without the need for excessive scrubbing.
✔ Dissolves 100% of urinal scale and calcium deposits
✔ Reduces odor complaints by eliminating organic waste at the source
✔ Prevents slow drainage and overflows
✔ Foams deeply into pipes for long-lasting results
Using Crete as part of a routine restroom maintenance schedule significantly reduces plumbing-related downtime and keeps hospital restrooms sanitary and odor-free.
3. Sewer Gas & Dry Drain Odors – VapourBlock
The Problem:
When floor drains dry out, sewer gas escapes into hospital hallways, patient rooms, and sterile areas—creating health risks and regulatory concerns. This is especially common in low-traffic maintenance rooms, janitorial closets, and storage areas where drains aren’t frequently flushed with water.
The Solution:
VapourBlock is a citrus-based dry drain maintainer that seals off floor drains, preventing evaporation and stopping sewer gas from escaping into hospital air.
✔ Forms a protective barrier to keep moisture locked in
✔ Eliminates sewer gas odors from dry drains
✔ Requires minimal application—long-lasting formula
✔ Safe for all hospital environments, including surgical areas
Hospitals using VapourBlock have seen a significant reduction in odor complaints and air quality issues, making it an essential product for infection control teams focused on maintaining a sterile, odor-free environment.
