Blocked Drains Lincoln

Are you experiencing slow draining water in your shower, or is the water not draining at all? A clogged shower drain can be frustrating and unhygienic. In this article, we will provide you with a step-by-step guide on how to clean a shower drain in Lincolnshire.

Before we dive into the cleaning process, it's essential to understand how a shower drain works. The shower drain is connected to a pipe that leads to the sewer system. When you take a shower, the water flows down the drain and into the pipe, eventually making its way to the sewer. However, hair, soap scum, and other debris can accumulate within the drain and pipe, causing blockages.

To clean your shower drain, you will need the following materials:

• A drain snake or plumber's auger
• Baking soda
• Vinegar
• Hot water
• A plunger (optional)

Start by removing any visible hair or debris from the shower drain. You can use a pair of gloves or a drain screen to catch any loose hair.

Pour 1 cup of baking soda down the shower drain. This will help break down any tough blockages.

Pour 1 cup of vinegar down the shower drain. The mixture of baking soda and vinegar will create a chemical reaction that will help dissolve any blockages.

Let the mixture steep for a few hours or overnight. This will allow the baking soda and vinegar to fully penetrate the blockage.

Pour hot water down the shower drain to rinse away any remaining blockages.

If the blockage is still present, use a drain snake or plumber's auger to remove any remaining debris.

If the blockage is still present, use a plunger to create suction and remove any remaining debris.

To prevent future blockages, it's essential to regularly clean your shower drain. You can do this by pouring baking soda and vinegar down the drain on a monthly basis.
