Blocked Drains Lincoln

Are you experiencing a clogged shower drain in your Lincolnshire home? Don't worry, we've got you covered. At Blocked Drains Lincoln, we understand the frustration that comes with a blocked shower drain. In this article, we'll guide you through the process of unblocking your shower drain using a plunger, a simple and effective method that requires minimal equipment.

Before we dive into the solution, it's essential to understand what causes a blockage in your shower drain. Hair, soap scum, and hard water minerals can all contribute to a clogged drain. In Lincolnshire, hard water is a common issue, and it can lead to a buildup of mineral deposits in your pipes, making them more prone to blockages.

To unblock your shower drain, you'll need:

• A plunger
• Hot water
• Baking soda (optional)

1. Remove any visible blockages: Before using a plunger, check your shower drain for any visible blockages, such as hair or soap scum. Remove any debris you find to ensure the plunger can work effectively.
2. Apply the plunger: Place the plunger over the shower drain, making sure the rubber edge is seated snugly around the drain.
3. Plunge away: Push down on the plunger slowly and steadily, then pull up quickly. Repeat this motion several times to create suction. This should help loosen any blockages in the drain.
4. Use hot water: If the plunger doesn't work immediately, try using hot water to help loosen the blockage. Pour hot water down the drain, then repeat the plunging process.
5. Add baking soda (optional): If the blockage persists, you can try using baking soda to help break down any tough blockages. Pour 1 cup of baking soda down the drain, followed by 1 cup of hot water. Let the mixture sit for a few hours or overnight, then repeat the plunging process.
