Eliminate Your #1 Maintenance
Ticket Category. Permanently.
Drain clogs are the most preventable recurring cost in your facilities budget — and they're caused by human error that no training program fixes. The SemperScreen® permanent sink screen stops debris at the drain inlet: nothing enters the pipe, nothing reaches the ejector pump, no plumber gets called.
"This product pays for itself five times over with just the first blockage it prevents. Very few products in the apartment industry have that kind of return." — Patrick and Robert, BLVD Capital

The Core Problem
Drain Clogs Are Entirely Preventable.
And They Keep Happening.
Every drain service call in your portfolio traces to the same root cause: debris entering an unprotected drain opening due to human error, repeated daily. The same drain clogs again 4–6 weeks after snaking. The budget line doesn't close. It reoccurs.
Without SemperScreen®
The Maintenance Ticket Loop
- ✗Food scraps and debris enter the drain unrestricted — every shift, every day
- ✗Drain slows — ticket submitted — plumber dispatched — $250+ per call
- ✗Pipe cleared — complaint closed — cycle restarts in 4–6 weeks
- ✗Debris migrates downstream → ejector wet well → pump impeller failure
- ✗Emergency remediation: $3,000–$15,000+ plus facility downtime
- ✗Finance asks why drain maintenance keeps overrunning budget

How It Works
Stop the Problem at the First Point of Contact.
01
Human Error at the Sink
Food scraps and debris, every employee, every shift, every day. Staff habits don't change and training doesn't stick. Unprotected drains receive it all.
02
SemperScreen® Intercepts at the Inlet
The high-quality, 304 stainless screen seats permanently into the drain body. Debris is captured at the surface and human error prevented. Nothing enters the pipe.
03
DWV Stack Stays Clear. Pump Protected.
No debris in the pipe means no buildup, no clog, no service call. In below-grade facilities, nothing from the sink reaches the wet well and harms the pump.
04
Maintenance Time Freed
Your maintenance lead's time opens for other tasks. No emergency calls. No remediation invoices. No downtime.
Proven at Scale. Major Retailer Case Study
From 8-Store Pilot
to Company Standard.
A major retailer with 1,900+ stores and distribution centers discovered their breakroom sinks were the primary driver of recurring drain and ejector pump failures. After deploying SemperScreen® permanent sink screens across 8 pilot locations and documenting savings of "thousands of dollars" per install, they embedded it in their renovation specification for every location with rollout through 2027/2028.
"I really appreciate what your product has done for the sites it is installed in — it's impressive work."
— Master Plumber, Major Retailer (1,900+ stores)
- Emergency drain and pump service calls reduced to zero at pilot locations
- Embedded in company renovation spec for all standard-sized sinks
- 60+ locations supplied and counting
- Zero ongoing maintenance. Screens remain while service calls do not

Downstream Risk
Your Drain Problem Doesn't
Stay at the Drain.
In any facility with below-grade plumbing, debris bypassing sink drains migrates into the sewage ejector system. The drain call you paid $250 to fix becomes the pump failure you didn't see coming.
🚰
Debris Enters an Unprotected Drain
Food scraps, grease, and fibrous waste bypass an open drain inlet and enter the DWV stack. Slow accumulation, no immediate ticket.
⬇️
Debris Reaches the Ejector Wet Well
Solids accumulate. The pump impeller strains. Runtime increases, power draw spikes. Failure is highly likely, maybe days, maybe weeks away. Downtime is imminent.
🔴
Pump Failure — Emergency Response
Sewage backup, facility shutdown, emergency dispatch, pump replacement: $3,000–$15,000+ depending on severity. Not in the maintenance budget.
🛡️
The SemperScreen® permanent sink screen stops this at Step 1.
Nothing enters the pipe. The DWV stack stays clear. The ejector pump runs free of clogging debris. One installation per drain prevents this real scenario. No maintenance, no moving parts, no follow-up.

Frequently Asked Questions
Facility Director FAQ
Drain clogs in commercial and residential facilities are not a plumbing problem, they're a debris input problem. Employees, renters and occupants place food scraps, grease, and fibrous waste into unprotected drains every day. SemperScreen® permanent sink drain screens capture debris at the drain inlet surface before it enters the pipe. Nothing in the pipe means no clog to clear, no ticket to generate, no plumber to dispatch. The category doesn't slow down, it stops. One installation per drain, permanent, no maintenance.
All standard-sized sink drains are susceptible to the human errors that lead to drain clogs including all sink drains in both commercial and residential facilities. This includes apartment rental units, short-term rental units, commercial breakrooms and maternity rooms, office breakrooms, hospital breakrooms, senior facility kitchens, hotel rooms, dormitory and school sinks, etc. SemperScreen® permanent sink screens install into any standard-sized sink drain with over 20,000 sold for all of these types of properties. Our permanent sink screens do not allow food or debris larger than a grain of rice to enter the pipe, meaning no clogs to clear, no ticket to generate, no plumber to dispatch. One installation per drain, permanent, no maintenance.
Removable strainers require staff to actively place them back in the drain after cleaning. In practice, they end up stored under the sink or discarded within weeks. When the screen is out, the drain is unprotected. SemperScreen® permanent sink screens seat permanently into the commercial or residential drain body and cannot be removed by staff, renters or occupants using standard tools. Protection is guaranteed for every user, every time, regardless of behavior.
In any facility with below-grade plumbing (basements, sub-level mechanical rooms, below-grade commercial kitchens), the DWV stack from upper-floor sinks feeds directly into a sewage ejector wet well. Solid debris that bypasses unprotected sink drains accumulates in that wet well and progressively clogs the pump impeller. The resulting pump failure costs $3,000–$15,000+ in emergency labor and equipment, far beyond what any drain service call would have cost. SemperScreen® permanent sink screen stops debris at the drain inlet, upstream of the entire system. The pipe stays clear. The wet well receives only water. The pump runs indefinitely without intervention.
For most facility portfolios, the SemperScreen® permanent screen pays for itself within the first prevented drain service call, typically within 30–90 days of installation. For facilities with above-average drain ticket frequency (3+ calls/year per drain), the first-year savings typically run 3–8× the product cost per drain. Use the ROI calculator on this page to model your specific portfolio. Already available in national distributors.
No. Each SemperScreen® permanent sink screen installs in 15 minutes as a retrofit in any standard commercial or residential drain body with no modifications to existing plumbing infrasctructure. They are compatible with all ASME A112.18.2 / CSA B125.2 standard commercial or residential drain assemblies, kitchen sinks, breakroom sinks, all standard-sized sinks. Each drain in a facility can be protected in a single maintenance visit.
