Blocked Drains Lincoln

Are you tired of dealing with a clogged bathtub drain in your Lincolnshire home? Before calling a professional plumber, try these natural methods to unblock your bathtub drain without using harsh chemicals.

Most bathtub drain blockages are caused by a buildup of soap scum, hair, and other debris that accumulate over time. These substances can combine to form a stubborn blockage that prevents water from draining properly.

This natural combination is a great way to clear a blocked bathtub drain. Here's how to do it:

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 to allow the mixture to work its way through the blockage.
4. Pour boiling water down the drain to rinse away the debris.

A drain snake, also known as an auger, is a long, flexible rod that can be inserted into the drain to remove blockages. Here's how to use one:

1. Feed the snake into the drain and rotate it as you push it further into the pipe.
2. When you feel resistance, it means you've reached the blockage.
3. Hold the snake in place and twist it to break up the blockage.
4. Remove the snake and rinse the drain with boiling water.

Soda crystals are a natural and non-toxic alternative to harsh chemical cleaners. Here's how to use them:

1. Pour 1 cup of soda crystals down the drain.
2. Follow with 2 cups of boiling water.
3. Let the mixture sit for a few hours or overnight to allow the crystals to work their way through the blockage.
4. Rinse the drain with boiling water to clear away the debris.

To prevent future blockages, consider the following tips:

• Use a drain screen or filter to catch hair and other debris before they go down the drain.
• Run hot water through the drain on a regular basis to clear away any buildup.
• Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as they can damage your pipes and cause more harm than good.
