Blocked Drains Lincoln

As a homeowner in Lincolnshire, you may have encountered a blocked drain at some point. Before calling a professional drainage service like Blocked Drains Lincoln, you might consider using a natural and non-toxic method to unblock your drain. One popular method is using bicarbonate of soda (baking soda) to clear blockages. But does it really work?

Bicarbonate of soda is a natural cleaner and can be used to dissolve grease and other substances that may be causing a blockage in your sink or drain. When combined with hot water, the soda crystals can help break down the blockage, allowing water to flow freely again.

To use bicarbonate of soda to unblock a sink, follow these steps:

1. Pour 1 cup of bicarbonate of soda down the drain.
2. Follow with 1 cup of hot water.
3. Let the mixture sit for a few hours or overnight.
4. Pour 1 cup of white vinegar down the drain.
5. Let the mixture sit for a few more hours.
6. Pour hot water down the drain to rinse.

For more severe blockages, you may need to use a combination of bicarbonate of soda and other methods. For example, you can try using a drain snake or rods to remove hair and other debris that may be causing the blockage.

Using bicarbonate of soda to unblock a drain can be a cost-effective solution. A bag of bicarbonate of soda is relatively inexpensive, and you may already have it in your pantry. However, if the blockage is severe or you are not comfortable using DIY methods, it may be best to call a professional drainage service like Blocked Drains Lincoln.

While bicarbonate of soda can be effective in clearing minor blockages, it may not be enough to clear more severe blockages. If you have tried using bicarbonate of soda and the blockage persists, it may be time to call a professional. Additionally, if you notice any of the following, it's best to call a professional:

• Slow draining water
• Bad smells coming from the drain
• Water backing up into the sink or shower

If bicarbonate of soda doesn't work, there are other methods you can try. For example, you can try using a drain jetting service to clear the blockage. This method uses high-pressure water to clear the blockage and can be more effective than using bicarbonate of soda.
