Blocked Drains Lincoln

Are you tired of dealing with a slow-draining shower in your Lincolnshire home? Hair is a common culprit when it comes to clogged drains, and it can be frustrating to deal with. At Blocked Drains Lincoln, we understand the importance of having a functioning drainage system, and we're here to provide you with a step-by-step guide on how to unblock a shower drain with hair in Lincolnshire.

Hair can accumulate in your shower drain over time, causing blockages and reducing water flow. This can lead to a range of issues, including slow draining, bad smells, and even water damage. In Lincolnshire, where the water table is relatively high, it's essential to address drainage problems promptly to prevent further complications.

Fortunately, unblocking a shower drain with hair is a relatively simple process that can be done with a few basic tools. Here's what you'll need:

• A drain snake or plumber's auger
• Baking soda and vinegar
• Hot water
• A pair of gloves (optional)

1. Remove any visible hair: Before you start, remove any visible hair from the drain cover or grate. This will give you a clear path to work with.
2. Use a drain snake: Feed the drain snake into the drain and rotate it as you push it further into the pipe. This will help to break up any hair accumulations and loosen blockages.
3. Apply baking soda and vinegar: Pour 1 cup of baking soda down the drain, followed by 1 cup of vinegar. Let the mixture sit for a few hours or overnight to allow it to work its magic.
4. Hot water rinse: Pour hot water down the drain to rinse away any remaining hair and debris.
5. Repeat if necessary: If the blockage persists, repeat the process until the water flows freely.

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

• Use a drain guard or filter to catch hair before it goes down the drain.
• Run hot water through the drain on a regular basis to help dissolve any grease or debris.
• Consider using a natural drain cleaner, such as baking soda and vinegar, on a monthly basis to maintain your drainage system.
