A property manager with a portfolio of buildings cannot send a crew out every weekend because a drain smells. They need a systematic solution that reduces the number of calls in the dispatch system and keeps tenants happy. Green Drain™ is a one-off purchase that lasts about five years.
An odour complaint is the classic FM helpdesk ticket. The technician arrives, flushes the P-trap, returns in 14 days — same issue. Labour costs climb and the tenant starts to question the building's quality.
The Irish FM market is consolidating fast. Corporate landlords, IFSC tenants and HSE-regulated portfolios are pushing ESG, BREEAM and air-quality KPIs into every soft-services tender. Drain odour and pest-related complaints are among the highest-volume helpdesk tickets — passive, chemical-free solutions like Green Drain™ remove the recurring callout entirely.

Once the property manager adopts the specification, the helpdesk stops opening odour tickets for that building — and the specification goes out across the rest of the portfolio.
A building with a history of odour tickets — 90-day pilot.
Open tickets counted before and after, for the sustainability report.
Central procurement takes over the specification for the rest of the portfolio.
Buildings done in priority order — typically 6 to 18 months.
A typical Irish FM portfolio mixes Grade-A office buildings (40–60 %), hotels (20–30 %), retail and shopping centres (10–20 %) and light industrial / data-adjacent facilities (5–10 %). Standardisation across the portfolio works: GD 2 and GD 3 together cover roughly 80 % of drain needs. Central procurement handles all sizes in a single OGP-style tender.
Green Drain™ doesn't work alone — for maximum drain control it's combined with GD Uri-Tabs™ (urinals) and GreenSwirl™ (drain unblocking).
Patented silicone seal — one SKU covers 95 % of drains in the portfolio. Standardised equipment across tens or hundreds of buildings.
Bio-enzymatic urinal tablets — one service interval across the whole FM portfolio, so maintenance stops varying from site to site.
Biological cleaning of biofilm — drains treated systematically across the portfolio. Fewer odour tickets and lower OPEX per building.
