Blocked Drains Lincoln

Are you tired of dealing with a clogged bath drain in your Lincolnshire home? Don't worry, we've got you covered. At Blocked Drains Lincoln, we understand the frustration that comes with a blocked bath drain, and we're here to provide you with a step-by-step guide on how to unblock it without a plunger.

Before we dive into the solution, it's essential to understand what might be causing the clog. Hair, soap scum, and other debris can accumulate in the drain and cause a blockage. If you notice that your bath drain is draining slowly or not at all, it's likely due to a clog.

The first step is to remove the stopper or strainer from the bath drain. This will give you access to the drain and allow you to see if there's any visible blockage. If you have a pop-up stopper, you can simply lift it out. If you have a strainer, you may need to use a screwdriver to remove the screws that hold it in place.

A drain claw is a long, flexible rod with a claw on the end that can be used to remove hair and other debris from the drain. You can purchase a drain claw at most hardware stores or home improvement stores. Simply insert the claw into the drain and twist it to grab onto any hair or debris that may be causing the clog.

If the clog is further down the drain, you may need to use a combination of baking soda and vinegar to dissolve the blockage. 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 it.

If the above steps don't work, you may need to use a chemical cleaner to dissolve the blockage. However, be careful when using chemical cleaners, as they can damage your pipes and harm your skin. Always follow the instructions on the label and take necessary precautions to avoid injury.

Once you've tried the above steps, check the drain to see if it's flowing freely. If it's still clogged, you may need to repeat the process or call a professional plumber to help you out.

To prevent future clogs, make sure to clean your bath drain regularly. You can use a drain cleaner or a combination of baking soda and vinegar to keep your drain flowing freely. Additionally, consider using a drain strainer or stopper to catch hair and other debris before they go down the drain.
