A floor drain may collect incidental wash water, connect to a sanitary system or form part of a different drainage arrangement. Identify its location, what enters it and when water rises. A drain that backs up during other fixture use needs a different assessment from a blocked surface grate. Do not assume that a floor drain can legally accept chemicals, vehicle fluids or food waste.
Ask how the trap and downstream route will be checked before cleaning. A dry trap can allow odor even when there is no blockage, while a shared sewer restriction can make the lowest drain overflow. Access may require moving stored items or coordinating with building management. Cleaning does not include contaminated-water removal or repair of damaged flooring unless those items are explicitly part of the agreement.
