How to Clean a Blocked Shower Drain in Lincolnshire

Are you tired of dealing with a clogged shower drain in your Lincolnshire home? A blocked shower drain can be frustrating and unhygienic, but fortunately, there are steps you can take to clean it. At Blocked Drains Lincoln, we provide expert drainage services to residents across Lincolnshire, including drain cleaning, jetting, and repairs.

Understanding the Problem

A blocked shower drain is often caused by a buildup of hair, soap scum, and other debris in the drain. This can lead to slow draining water, unpleasant odors, and even sewer backups. To prevent these issues, it's essential to clean your shower drain regularly.

Cleaning Your Shower Drain

Before attempting to clean your shower drain, make sure to turn off the water supply to the shower. You can do this by locating the shut-off valves and turning them clockwise. Next, follow these steps:

  1. Remove any visible debris: Use a pair of gloves or a drain screen to remove any hair or soap scum that's accumulated in the drain.
  2. Use a drain cleaner: You can purchase a drain cleaner at a hardware store or home improvement store. Follow the instructions on the packaging to ensure safe and effective use.
  3. Use baking soda and vinegar: Mix equal parts baking soda and vinegar to create a natural drain cleaner. Pour the mixture down the drain and let it sit for a few hours before rinsing with hot water.
  4. Use a plunger: If the blockage is further down the drain, you may need to use a plunger to create suction and loosen the debris.
  5. Use a drain snake: If the blockage is severe, you may need to use a drain snake to remove the debris.

High-Pressure Water Jetting

If the above methods don't work, you may need to use high-pressure water jetting to clean your shower drain. This involves using a specialized machine to blast water through the drain and remove any blockages. At Blocked Drains Lincoln, we offer high-pressure water jetting services to residents across Lincolnshire.

Preventing Future Blockages

To prevent future blockages, make sure to:

  • Use a drain screen: A drain screen can catch hair and other debris before they enter the drain.
  • Run hot water: Running hot water through the drain can help to dissolve any soap scum or grease that may be accumulating.
  • Use a natural drain cleaner: Regularly using a natural drain cleaner, such as baking soda and vinegar, can help to keep your shower drain clean and free-flowing.
