Hospital maintenance teams deal with countless challenges, but drain biofilm buildup is one of the most persistent—and most overlooked—problems. Biofilm is a bacterial breeding ground, forming a slimy, protective layer inside hospital drains that leads to slow drainage, foul odors, and a higher risk of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs).
If not properly removed, biofilm can become resistant to standard cleaning chemicals, making it harder to eliminate over time. Many hospitals attempt to fix the problem using traditional drain openers, hot water flushing, or enzymatic cleaners—but these solutions are only temporary and fail to remove the biofilm at its root.
Let’s break down why biofilm buildup is such a serious issue in hospitals, and how Brodi’s LiquiFlo provides a scientifically-backed, long-term solution.
The Problem: Biofilm in Hospital Drains Creates a Perfect Storm
Biofilm forms when bacteria, organic debris, and moisture combine inside drainpipes, creating a sticky, protective layer that shields bacteria from cleaning agents. Once biofilm is established, it:
✔ Slows down drainage, leading to frequent backups and maintenance calls.
✔ Releases foul odors, affecting hospital air quality in kitchens, restrooms, and maintenance areas.
✔ Acts as a breeding ground for harmful pathogens, including bacteria that contribute to HAIs.
✔ Becomes resistant to traditional cleaning methods, requiring stronger, more effective treatments.
Most hospitals use enzymatic cleaners or hot water flushing to manage biofilm buildup, but these methods only break down surface layers—allowing bacteria to continue growing deeper inside the pipes. Over time, this leads to a cycle of recurring drain problems, higher maintenance costs, and increased sanitation risks.
The Solution: LiquiFlo – A True Biofilm Destroyer
Unlike standard drain openers that only dissolve surface-level blockages, LiquiFlo is specifically designed to break down biofilm at the molecular level—completely eliminating the bacteria and organic waste that cause slow drains and odors.
How LiquiFlo Works:
✔ High-Alkaline, Fumeless Formula – Unlike acid-based drain openers, LiquiFlo’s alkaline composition actively breaks down biofilm and organic buildup without corroding pipes or releasing harmful fumes.
✔ Penetrates and Destroys Biofilm – LiquiFlo doesn’t just wash away surface debris; it chemically disrupts biofilm structures, dissolving the protective barrier that allows bacteria to thrive.
✔ Prevents Regrowth – Regular use of LiquiFlo coats pipes with a protective layer, making it harder for biofilm to form again, reducing long-term maintenance costs and emergency plumbing issues.
✔ Safe for All Plumbing Systems – LiquiFlo works on all hospital drains, including floor sinks, kitchen lines, restrooms, and maintenance drains, without causing damage or requiring downtime.
Why LiquiFlo is the Best Choice for Hospitals
Hospitals can’t afford to use subpar, temporary fixes for drain maintenance. Unlike traditional drain cleaners, LiquiFlo is designed for long-term effectiveness, preventing recurring issues and reducing emergency maintenance calls.
✔ Eliminates hazardous biofilm completely
✔ Prevents odors and slow drainage in high-traffic areas
✔ Reduces plumbing maintenance costs
✔ Safe for use in sensitive hospital environments
Take Action Before Biofilm Becomes a Bigger Problem
Biofilm buildup isn’t just a drain issue—it’s a sanitation risk that directly impacts hospital operations and infection control efforts. If your hospital is dealing with slow drains, odors, or recurring plumbing issues, LiquiFlo is the long-term solution you’ve been looking for.
