Blocked Drains Lincoln

Are you experiencing a clogged wet room shower 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 blocked shower drain. In this article, we'll guide you through the steps to unblock your wet room shower drain and get your water flowing freely again.

Before we dive into the solution, it's essential to understand what causes a blockage in a wet room shower drain. The most common culprits are:

• Soap scum and shampoo residue
• Hair and other debris
• Dirt and grime
• Mineral buildup from hard water

The first step in unblocking your wet room shower drain is to clear any visible debris from the drain cover or grate. Remove any hair or soap scum that may be accumulated around the drain.

Next, use a plunger to create suction on the clogged drain. Make sure the plunger is properly seated over the drain, and then push down and pull up quickly to create suction. Repeat this process several times to loosen the blockage.

If the plunger doesn't work, it's time to bring in the big guns – a drain snake. A drain snake is a long, flexible rod that can be inserted into the drain to break up any blockages. Feed the snake into the drain and rotate it as you push it further into the pipe.

If the blockage persists, it may be due to a problem with the slope of your drain. Make sure the drain is sloped correctly to allow water to flow freely. If the slope is incorrect, you may need to adjust it to prevent future blockages.

Finally, pour hot water down the drain to clear any remaining debris. This will help to dissolve any soap scum or mineral buildup that may be causing the blockage.

To save time and prevent future blockages, consider the following tips:

• Regularly clean your shower drain to prevent debris buildup
• Use a drain screen or filter to catch hair and other debris
• Avoid using harsh chemicals that can damage your pipes
• Consider using a natural drain cleaner to keep your drains flowing freely
