More buildings.
One specification.
Fewer interventions.

A property manager overseeing a portfolio of buildings can't send a crew every weekend because of odors in the drains. They need a systematic solution that reduces the number of calls in the dispatch system and keeps tenants happy. Green Drain™ is a one-time purchase that lasts for five years.

Problem & solution

What does he see? FM dispatch system.

A smell complaint is a classic ticket in the FM system. The technician arrives, flushes the P-trap, returns in 14 days—same issue. Labor costs rise, and the tenant doubts the building's quality.

Without Green Drain™

  • Smell complaint — 30–60 minutes on call, plus travel time.
  • An intervention doesn't solve the cause—it only treats the symptom (turns on the P-trap, goes away).
  • The scents recur — the same location every 2–3 weeks.
  • Corporate tenants have options — a bad impression = canceled contracts
  • The FM contract has KPIs for response time and the number of open tickets — costs are rising.

With Green Drain™

  • Elimination of the primary cause of smell complaints within five years.
  • Standardization through the portfolio — one specification for procurement
  • Reduction of the number of FM interventions per facility
  • Contribution to the building's LEED/BREEAM rating (sustainability)
  • ASSE 1072-2020 and EN 1253 documentation for corporate procurement
Irish FM market

Sector is becoming professional.

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.

Implementation

Implementation in to the FM portfolio

The property manager takes the specification, the dispatch system doesn't open new smell tickets at the facility — the recommendation is being rolled out across the portfolio.

01

Pilot building

A building with a history of smell tickets — pilot, 90-day evaluation.

02

Measurement

Number of open tickets — pre/post analysis for the sustainability report.

03

Specification

Central procurement takes over the specification for the rest of the portfolio.

04

Roll-out

Prioritized building implementation — typically 6–18 months.

Model Recommendation

Recommendation throughout the entire portfolio.

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™ Recommended for your industry.

  • BC and hotel rooms (~55% of the portfolio)GD 2. Largest volume procurement.
  • Wellness, F&B, sports (~20%)GD 3HoReCa standard.
  • Industrial facilities and larger garages (~10%)GD 4.
  • Specific large grooves (~5%)GD 5 or GD 6CRAC plant, central kitchen ducts.
