Blocked Drains Lincoln

Are you experiencing a blocked shower tray drain in your Lincolnshire home? Don't worry, we've got you covered. At Blocked Drains Lincoln, we understand the frustration and inconvenience that comes with a clogged drain. In this article, we'll provide you with a step-by-step guide on how to unblock a shower tray drain, as well as some helpful tips to prevent future blockages.

Before we dive into the unblocking process, it's essential to understand what might be causing the blockage. Common culprits include:

• Hair and soap scum buildup
• Grease and oil residue
• Dirt and debris
• Mineral deposits

To unblock your shower tray drain, you'll need the following tools:

• A plunger
• Drain rods (also known as drain snakes)
• A bucket or container to catch water
• Gloves and a face mask (optional)

1. Remove any visible blockages: Before you start, take a look at the drain cover and remove any visible hair or debris that might be causing the blockage.
2. Use a plunger: Place the plunger over the drain and push down slowly and steadily. Hold for a few seconds, then lift up. Repeat this process several times to create suction and loosen any blockages.
3. Use drain rods: If the plunger doesn't work, it's time to bring in the drain rods. Feed the rod into the drain and rotate it as you push it further into the pipe. This will help break up any blockages and allow water to flow freely.
4. Clean the drain: Once you've removed the blockage, use a bucket or container to catch any water that might spill out. Use a soft brush or cloth to clean the drain and remove any remaining debris.

• Regular cleaning: Regularly clean your shower tray drain to prevent hair and soap scum buildup.
• Use a drain screen: Consider installing a drain screen to catch hair and other debris before they go down the drain.
• Avoid using harsh chemicals: Avoid using harsh chemicals to clean your drain, as they can damage the pipes and cause more harm than good.
