Blocked Drains Lincoln

Lincolnshire, a county located in the East Midlands region of England, is known for its picturesque countryside and rich history. However, even in this beautiful county, plumbing issues can arise, causing inconvenience and disruption to daily life. One common problem that many homeowners in Lincolnshire face is a blocked bath. In this article, we will provide a step-by-step guide on how to unblock a blocked bath, as well as offer expert advice from WPS Plumbing & Drainage, a reputable drainage service provider in the area.

Before we dive into the solution, it's essential to understand what causes a blocked bath. The most common culprits include:

• Hair and soap scum buildup
• Grease and oil accumulation
• Mineral deposits from hard water
• Foreign objects, such as toys or jewelry, that have been accidentally dropped down the drain

If you're experiencing a blocked bath in Lincolnshire, follow these steps to try and resolve the issue:

1. Turn off the water supply: Locate the stopcock, usually found under the sink or near the water meter, and turn it clockwise to shut off the water supply to the bath.
2. Use a plunger: Create a seal around the drain with a plunger and push down slowly and steadily. Repeat this process several times to create suction and loosen any blockages.
3. Use a drain snake: If the plunger doesn't work, try using a drain snake (also known as an auger) to remove any hair or debris that may be causing the blockage.
4. Use baking soda and vinegar: Mix equal parts baking soda and vinegar to create a natural cleaning solution. Pour the mixture down the drain and let it sit for a few hours before rinsing with hot water.
5. Use a chemical drain cleaner: If the above methods don't work, you can try using a chemical drain cleaner. However, be sure to follow the instructions carefully and take necessary safety precautions.
