Blocked Drains Lincoln

Are you experiencing a clogged drain in your Lincolnshire home? Don't call the drain doctor just yet. A simple and effective solution to unblock your drain is by using bicarbonate of soda. This method is environmentally friendly, non-toxic, and budget-friendly. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to unblock a drain using bicarbonate of soda.

• 1 cup of bicarbonate of soda
• 1 cup of boiling water
• 1 cup of white vinegar
• A washing up bowl or container
• A dish or spoon for pouring

1. Pour Bicarbonate of Soda Down the Drain: Pour 1 cup of bicarbonate of soda down the blocked drain. Make sure to pour it slowly to avoid splashing.
2. Add Boiling Water: Carefully pour 1 cup of boiling water down the drain to help the bicarbonate of soda flow down and reach the blockage.
3. Let it Sit: Allow the mixture to sit in the drain for a few hours or overnight. This will give the bicarbonate of soda time to break down any grease or debris causing the blockage.
4. Add Vinegar: After the sitting time has passed, pour 1 cup of white vinegar down the drain. The mixture will start to fizz and foam, helping to break down any remaining blockages.
5. Heat and Pressure: The heat from the boiling water and the pressure from the fizzing mixture will help to dislodge any blockages in the drain.
6. Flush with Hot Water: Once the fizzing has stopped, pour hot water down the drain to flush out any remaining debris.

• To avoid clogged drains in the future, be mindful of what you wash down your sink. Avoid pouring grease, soap, and other debris down the drain.
• If you have a severe blockage, you may need to repeat the process a few times before the drain is fully unblocked.
