Blocked Drains Lincoln

As a homeowner in Lincolnshire, you're likely no stranger to the frustration of a clogged shower drain. But before you call in the professionals, why not try cleaning your shower drain cover yourself? In this article, we'll walk you through the simple steps to get your shower drain flowing freely again.

In Lincolnshire, where water is a precious resource, it's essential to keep your drains flowing freely to avoid wasting water and causing damage to your plumbing system. A clogged shower drain can lead to a range of problems, from slow-draining water to a complete blockage that may require costly repairs. By cleaning your shower drain cover regularly, you can prevent these issues and keep your shower running smoothly.

• A screwdriver or Allen wrench (depending on the type of drain cover you have)
• A pair of needle-nose pliers
• A drain cleaning brush or plumber's snake
• Baking soda and vinegar (optional)
• Hot water

Start by removing the drain cover. This may require a screwdriver or Allen wrench, depending on the type of drain cover you have. Gently pry the cover off, taking care not to scratch the surrounding area.

Once the cover is removed, inspect the drain for any visible blockages. You may see hair, soap scum, or other debris accumulated in the drain. Use a pair of needle-nose pliers to remove any large blockages.

If the blockage is further down the drain, use a drain cleaning brush or plumber's snake to clear the clog. Feed the brush or snake into the drain and rotate it as you push it further into the pipe. This should help break up any blockages and allow water to flow freely.

If you want to give your drain an extra deep clean, try using 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.

Once you've cleaned the drain, reassemble the drain cover. Make sure it's securely fastened to prevent any future blockages.

To prevent future blockages, make sure to clean your shower drain cover regularly. You can also take steps to reduce the amount of debris that goes down the drain, such as:

• Using a drain screen or filter to catch hair and other debris
• Avoiding pouring grease or oil down the drain
• Running hot water through the drain regularly to clear any blockages
