Blocked Drains Lincoln

Are you tired of dealing with a clogged shower drain in your Lincolnshire home? Hair is a common culprit when it comes to blocked drains, and it can be frustrating to deal with. At Blocked Drains Lincoln, we've put together a step-by-step guide on how to unblock a shower drain blocked with hair in Lincolnshire.

Before we dive into the solution, it's essential to understand how hair can cause blockages in your shower drain. Hair can accumulate in the pipes and drains, causing a buildup that can slow down water flow or even block it entirely. This can lead to a range of problems, including water backing up into the shower, bad smells, and even damage to your drainage system.

A drain snake, also known as an auger, is a long, flexible rod that can be inserted into the drain to break up any blockages. To use a drain snake, follow these steps:

1. Remove any visible hair from the drain cover or grate.
2. Insert the drain snake into the drain and feed it through the pipe until you feel resistance.
3. Turn the handle to break up the blockage.
4. Remove the snake and check if the water flows freely.

This method is a natural and non-toxic way to unblock your shower drain. Here's how:

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.
4. Pour hot water down the drain to rinse.

If the above methods don't work, you can try using a chemical drain cleaner. However, be careful when using these products, as they can damage your pipes and skin. Always follow the instructions and take necessary precautions.

1. Pour the recommended amount of chemical drain cleaner down the drain.
2. Let it sit for the recommended time.
3. Pour hot water down the drain to rinse.

To prevent hair from blocking your shower drain in the future, consider the following:

• Use a drain screen or filter to catch hair before it goes down the drain.
• Run hot water through the drain regularly to clear any debris.
• Consider using a natural drain cleaner or maintenance product to keep your drains flowing freely.
