Sand and gravel can easily accumulate in your drains, especially after outdoor activities or heavy rainfall. When these particles enter your drainage system, they can cause clogs and blockages, leading to slow draining water or even complete stoppages. In Lincolnshire, where sand is a common soil type, this problem is more prevalent.

Before we dive into the solution, it's essential to understand how sand gets into your drains. Some common causes include:

• Outdoor activities, such as gardening or construction, which can lead to sand and debris entering your drains
• Heavy rainfall, which can wash sand and gravel into your drainage system
• Poor drainage system design or maintenance, which can allow sand and debris to accumulate

To unblock a drain full of sand, you'll need to use a combination of cleaning techniques and specialized equipment. Here are some steps you can follow:

1. Use a plunger: Start by using a plunger to create suction and loosen any blockages. This may help dislodge some of the sand and debris.
2. Use a drain snake: If the plunger doesn't work, try using a drain snake (also known as an auger) to break up any clogs. This long, flexible rod can be inserted into your drain to remove blockages.
3. Use high-pressure water jetting: For more severe blockages, you may need to use high-pressure water jetting to clear the sand and debris. This involves using a specialized machine to blast water through your drain, dislodging any blockages.
4. Use a drain cleaning service: If you're not comfortable attempting to unblock your drain yourself, or if the blockage is severe, it's best to call a professional drain cleaning service. At Blocked Drains Lincoln, we have the expertise and equipment to quickly and effectively clear any blockages.

To prevent sand and debris from accumulating in your drains, it's essential to maintain your drainage system regularly. Here are some tips:

• Regularly clean your drains: Use a drain cleaning product or a plumber's snake to clear any debris and prevent clogs.
• Install a drain guard: Consider installing a drain guard or filter to catch any sand and debris before they enter your drainage system.
• Keep your outdoor areas clean: Regularly clean your outdoor areas, including gardens and driveways, to prevent sand and debris from entering your drains.
