Blocked Drains Lincoln

Are you tired of dealing with a slow-draining shower in your Lincolnshire home? Clogged shower drains can be frustrating and unhygienic, but fortunately, cleaning them out is a relatively simple process. In this article, we'll walk you through the steps to clean out a shower drain, and also provide information on when to call a professional drainage service.

Over time, hair, soap scum, and other debris can accumulate in your shower drain, causing it to become clogged. If left unchecked, this can lead to a range of problems, including:

• Slow draining water
• Backed-up water
• Bad odors
• Increased risk of sewer backups

The first step in cleaning out your shower drain is to remove the drain cover. This is usually a simple process that involves unscrewing the cover and lifting it off.

A drain snake (also known as an auger) is a long, flexible rod that can be inserted into the drain to break up any blockages. Feed the snake into the drain and rotate it as you push it further into the pipe. This should help to break up any hair or debris that's causing the clog.

For tougher clogs, you can try using a combination of baking soda and vinegar. Pour 1 cup of baking soda down the drain, followed by 1 cup of vinegar. Let the mixture sit for a few hours or overnight, then pour hot water down the drain to rinse it.

If the clog is still present after using a drain snake and baking soda and vinegar, you can try using a plunger. Make sure the plunger is properly seated over the drain, then push down and pull up quickly to create suction.

While these steps should help to clean out your shower drain, there may be times when you need to call a professional drainage service. If you're dealing with a particularly stubborn clog, or if you're not comfortable using a drain snake or plunger, it's best to call a professional.
