Blocked Drains Lincoln

Are you experiencing issues with your outside drain in Lincolnshire? A blocked drain can be a frustrating and unpleasant problem, especially when it's causing water to back up into your garden or yard. At Blocked Drains Lincoln, we're here to help you tackle the issue with a simple and cost-effective solution: using baking soda to unblock your outside drain.

Outside drains are prone to blockages due to debris, leaves, and dirt accumulating in the pipes. When water can't flow freely, it may cause a backup, leading to unpleasant odors and water damage. Before attempting to unblock your drain, it's essential to understand the cause of the blockage.

Baking soda is a natural and non-toxic substance that can help break down and dissolve blockages in your drain. When combined with hot water, baking soda creates a chemical reaction that can help dissolve grease, hair, and other debris clogging your drain.

1. Pour 1 cup of baking soda down the drain, making sure to cover the entire surface.
2. Follow with 2 cups of hot water to help the baking soda dissolve and penetrate the blockage.
3. Let it sit for 2-3 hours or overnight to allow the baking soda to work its magic.
4. Use a drain rod to gently push the baking soda mixture through the pipe and help break up any remaining blockages.
5. Flush with hot water to rinse the drain and ensure it's flowing freely.

If the baking soda method doesn't work, you may need to consider other options:

• Drain jetting: This involves using a high-pressure water jet to blast away blockages. Our team at Blocked Drains Lincoln offers professional drain jetting services to ensure your drain is cleared safely and effectively.
• Drain rods: If the blockage is further down the pipe, you may need to use drain rods to manually remove the debris.

To avoid future blockages, it's essential to:

• Regularly clean your drain with baking soda and hot water to prevent debris buildup.
• Use a drain screen to catch hair and other debris before they enter the drain.
• Schedule regular drain maintenance with a specialist like Blocked Drains Lincoln to ensure your drain is in good working condition.

Using baking soda to unblock your outside drain is a cost-effective solution that can save you money on professional drain cleaning services. However, if the blockage persists or you're unsure about the cause, it's always best to consult a specialist like Blocked Drains Lincoln.
