Blocked Drains Lincoln

As a homeowner in Lincolnshire, dealing with a blocked outside drain can be a frustrating and messy experience. At Blocked Drains Lincoln, we understand the importance of a functioning drainage system, and we're here to provide you with a step-by-step guide on how to unblock an outside drain.

Before we dive into the unblocking process, it's essential to understand what causes blockages in outside drains. In Lincolnshire, the most common causes of blockages include:

• Leaves and debris accumulating in the drain
• Tree roots growing into the pipe
• Grease and fat from cooking oil
• Soap scum and hair

To unblock your outside drain, you need to identify the location of the blockage. Check the drain for visible signs of blockages, such as slow draining water or a gurgling sound. If you're still unsure, you can use a drain snake or plumber's auger to investigate the pipe.

A drain snake or plumber's auger is a long, flexible rod that can be inserted into the drain to break up blockages. Feed the snake into the drain and rotate it as you push it further into the pipe. This should help to break up any blockages.

For more stubborn blockages, try using a mixture of 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 before rinsing with hot water.

If the above methods don't work, you may need to use a high-pressure water jet to clear the blockage. This is a more advanced technique that requires specialized equipment, so it's recommended to call a professional drainage service like Blocked Drains Lincoln.

To prevent future blockages, make sure to:

• Regularly clean your outside drains with a drain snake or plumber's auger
• Avoid pouring grease and fat down the drain
• Install a drain guard to catch leaves and debris
• Consider installing a sewer line camera to inspect your pipes
