Blocked Drains Lincoln

As a homeowner in Lincolnshire, maintaining your outdoor drains is essential to prevent blockages, flooding, and damage to your property. At Blocked Drains Lincoln, we understand the importance of clean drains and are here to provide you with a step-by-step guide on how to clean an outdoor drain in Lincolnshire.

Before we dive into the cleaning process, it's essential to understand how your outdoor drain works. Your outdoor drain is connected to a network of pipes that direct water away from your property. Over time, debris, leaves, and dirt can accumulate in these pipes, causing blockages and damage.

Blocked drains are a common problem in Lincolnshire, particularly in areas like Grantham, Lincoln, and Newark-on-Trent. The main causes of blocked drains include:

• Debris and leaves accumulation
• Dirt and soil erosion
• Tree roots invasion
• Poor drainage system design

To clean your outdoor drain, you'll need the following equipment:

• A drain rod or plumbing snake
• A high-pressure water jetting machine (optional)
• Gloves and safety goggles

Start by removing any visible debris and leaves from the drain cover. Use a drain rod or plumbing snake to insert into the drain and break up any blockages.

If the blockage is severe, consider using a high-pressure water jetting machine to clear the pipes. This method is effective in removing stubborn blockages and debris.

Once you've cleared the blockage, inspect the drain and pipes for any damage. If you notice any cracks or damage, consider repairing or replacing the pipes to prevent future blockages.

To prevent future blockages, consider the following:

• Regularly inspect and clean your outdoor drain
• Install a drain guard to catch debris and leaves
• Trim tree roots and branches that may be invading your pipes
• Consider using a drainage maintenance service to keep your pipes clear
