There does not appear to be a scientific name to specifically describe the fear of drains. Perhaps the fear stems from a fear of losing something valuable down the drain, or the resulting mess should something clog the drain. A fear of swimming pool drains or street drainages may indicate a fear of drowning.
For most, it tends to go hand in hand with submechaniphobia. A fear of man made objects underwater. Sunken ships. Bouys. Those terrifying pictures of a diver beside a giant ship propeller. those of us who suffer from that tend to also be afraid of the uncertainty of what a drain or pool filter could mean.
For me the phobia I have of standing on the drain stems from my fear of clowns and also my fear of drowning as I cannot swim. All together to me it seems as to be a merge of a fear of clowns and a fear of drowing in one.
I would call it Drainaphobia because Im scared of them to but I worry something like a spider will crawl out of one
I would call it Drainaphobia, I’m not scared of bathroom drains just pool drains and I try not to walk over storm drains.
