Blocked Drains Lincoln

Are you dealing with a clogged shower drain in your Lincolnshire home, and you suspect that poop is the culprit? Don't worry; we've got you covered. At Blocked Drains Lincoln, we understand that a blocked shower drain can be a frustrating and unpleasant experience, especially when it involves fecal matter. In this article, we'll walk you through the steps to clean poop from your shower drain and provide some valuable tips to prevent future blockages.

Before we dive into the cleaning process, it's essential to understand how poop can end up in your shower drain. The most common reason is when toilet waste overflows into the shower drain, usually due to a blockage in the sewer line or a faulty toilet tank. Another possibility is when someone accidentally flushes wipes or other non-biodegradable items down the toilet, which can cause a blockage in the drain.

Before you start cleaning the poop from your shower drain, make sure you:

1. Wear protective gloves and eyewear to avoid coming into contact with fecal matter.
2. Turn off the water supply to the shower to prevent any further water from flowing into the drain.
3. Remove any visible debris or hair from the shower drain cover.

1. Use a drain snake: Feed the drain snake into the shower drain and rotate it as you push it further into the pipe. This will help break up any blockages and allow you to retrieve the poop.
2. Use 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.
3. Use a plunger: If the blockage is close to the surface, you can try using a plunger to create suction and remove the poop.
4. Use a drain cleaner: If the above methods don't work, you can try using a drain cleaner specifically designed to break down fecal matter. However, be sure to follow the instructions carefully and take necessary safety precautions.

To avoid dealing with poop in your shower drain in the future, follow these tips:

1. Regularly clean your shower drain: Use a drain screen or filter to catch hair and other debris before they go down the drain.
2. Don't flush non-biodegradable items: Only flush toilet paper and human waste down the toilet to prevent blockages.
3. Check your toilet tank: Make sure your toilet tank is functioning correctly and not overflowing into the shower drain.
4. Consider a sewer line inspection: If you suspect that your sewer line is blocked or damaged, consider hiring a professional plumber to inspect and clean your sewer line.
