Blocked Drains Lincoln

Are you tired of dealing with clogged shower drains in your Lincolnshire home? Hair is a common culprit behind blocked drains, but fortunately, there are several methods to remove it and prevent future clogs. At Blocked Drains Lincoln, we've compiled a step-by-step guide on how to clean hair from your shower drain.

Hair can accumulate in your shower drain over time, causing water to flow slowly or not at all. If left unchecked, this can lead to more severe issues, such as sewer backups and costly repairs. To avoid these problems, it's essential to address the issue promptly.

A drain snake, also known as an auger, is a long, flexible rod that can be inserted into your drain to remove clogs. To use a drain snake:

1. Remove any visible hair from the drain cover.
2. Insert the snake into the drain and rotate it as you push it further into the pipe.
3. When you feel resistance, pull the snake back out, and the clog should come with it.

This natural method is a great alternative to harsh chemicals. To try it:

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

A plunger can be an effective tool for removing hair clogs. To use a plunger:

1. Remove any visible hair from the drain cover.
2. Apply a small amount of petroleum jelly to the rim of the plunger.
3. Place the plunger over the drain and push down slowly.
4. Hold for a few seconds, then lift up.

If the above methods don't work, you may need to use a high-pressure water jet to clear the clog. This method is best left to professionals, as it requires specialized equipment.

To prevent hair from clogging your shower drain in the future, consider the following:

• Use a drain screen or filter to catch hair before it goes down the drain.
• Run hot water through your drain on a regular basis to help clear any debris.
• Consider using a natural drain cleaner, such as baking soda and vinegar, on a monthly basis.
