Blocked Drains Lincoln

Are you tired of dealing with a clogged bath drain in your Lincolnshire home? Hair is a common culprit when it comes to blocked drains, and it can be frustrating to try and remove it. At Blocked Drains Lincoln, we offer expert drainage services to help you tackle this problem. In this article, we'll provide you with some tips on how to unblock a bath drain from hair.

Before we dive into the solutions, it's essential to understand why hair causes blockages in the first place. Hair can accumulate in the drain pipe and combine with other debris, such as soap scum and grease, to form a stubborn blockage. This can lead to slow draining water, unpleasant odors, and even backups.

A plunger is a simple and effective tool for removing hair blockages from bath drains. To use a plunger, follow these steps:

1. Remove any visible hair from the drain cover.
2. Apply a small amount of petroleum jelly to the rim of the plunger.
3. Place the plunger over the drain and push down slowly and steadily.
4. Hold the plunger in place for a few seconds, then lift up.
5. Repeat this process several times until the water drains freely.

For a more natural approach, try using baking soda and vinegar to clean your bath drain. Here's how:

1. Pour 1 cup of baking soda down the drain.
2. Follow with 1 cup of vinegar.
3. Let the mixture sit for a few hours or overnight.
4. Pour hot water down the drain to rinse.

A drain snake, also known as an auger, is a long, flexible rod that can be inserted into the drain pipe to remove blockages. To use a drain snake, follow these steps:

1. Feed the snake into the drain pipe and rotate it as you push it further into the pipe.
2. When you feel resistance, pull the snake back out, removing any hair or debris with it.
3. Repeat this process until the water drains freely.

If the above methods don't work, you may need to use a chemical drain cleaner. However, be sure to follow the instructions carefully and take necessary safety precautions.

To prevent hair from clogging your bath drain in the future, consider the following:

• Use a drain screen or filter to catch hair before it goes down the drain.
• Run hot water through the drain regularly to help dissolve any grease or debris.
• Consider using a natural drain cleaner, such as baking soda and vinegar, on a regular basis.
