Blocked Drains Lincoln

Are you tired of dealing with a clogged overflow drain in your bathtub? In Lincolnshire, where Blocked Drains Lincoln is based, we understand the frustration that comes with a slow-draining tub. In this article, we will guide you through the process of cleaning your overflow drain, ensuring your bathtub is functioning properly.

A clogged overflow drain can cause water to accumulate in your bathtub, leading to unpleasant odors and unhygienic conditions. The overflow drain is designed to prevent water from overflowing into the surrounding area, but when clogged, it can become a breeding ground for bacteria and mold.

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

• A drain brush or plumber's snake
• A stopper or plug
• Baking soda
• Vinegar
• A rag
• Boiling water

Start by removing the stopper or plug from the overflow drain. This will give you access to the inside of the drain.

Use a drain brush or plumber's snake to remove any visible debris or gunk from the inside of the drain. This will help to loosen any blockages and allow for a more effective cleaning.

In a pot or bowl, mix 1 cup of baking soda with 1 cup of vinegar. The mixture will fizz and bubble, which will help to break down any tough blockages.

Pour the baking soda and vinegar mixture down the overflow drain. Let it sit for a few minutes to allow the solution to work its way through the drain.

Boil a kettle of water and pour it down the overflow drain. The hot water will help to rinse away any remaining debris and gunk.

If the overflow drain is still clogged after the first cleaning, repeat the process until the water flows freely.

For tougher blockages, you can try using a natural drain cleaner like the one described in this article from Brendi: https://brendid.com/how-to-naturally-clean-a-clogged-drain/. Alternatively, you can use a chemical drain cleaner, but be sure to follow the instructions carefully and take necessary safety precautions.

By following these steps, you can ensure your bathtub is functioning properly and prevent any future clogs.
