How to Clear a Blocked Shower Drain in Lincolnshire

Are you tired of dealing with a slow-draining shower in your Lincolnshire home? A blocked shower drain can be frustrating and unhygienic, but fortunately, there are steps you can take to clear the blockage. At WPS Plumbing & Drainage, we've helped numerous homeowners in Lincolnshire resolve their drainage issues, and we're here to provide you with expert advice on how to clear a blocked shower drain.

Understanding the Problem

Before we dive into the solutions, it's essential to understand what causes a blocked shower drain. Hair, soap scum, and grease are common culprits that can clog your drain. In Lincolnshire, where the water table is relatively high, it's not uncommon for drains to become blocked due to the buildup of these substances.

DIY Solutions

If you're comfortable with DIY repairs, here are some steps you can take to clear a blocked shower drain:

  1. Use a plunger: A plunger can be an effective tool in clearing a blocked shower drain. Make sure the plunger is properly seated over the drain, then push down and pull up quickly to create suction.
  2. Use a drain snake: A drain snake (also known as an auger) can help break up any blockages in your drain. Feed the snake into the drain and rotate it as you push it further into the pipe.
  3. 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, then pour hot water down the drain to rinse.
