Blocked Drains Lincoln

Are you experiencing issues with your main drain in your Lincolnshire property? A blocked drain can cause significant disruptions to your daily life, and it's essential to address the problem as soon as possible. At Blocked Drains Lincoln, we provide expert drainage services to help you unblock your main drain and get your water flowing freely again.

Before we dive into the steps to unblock your main drain, it's crucial to understand how the drainage system works. The main drain is responsible for carrying wastewater and sewage away from your property and into the public sewer system. The drain is connected to a network of pipes that run under your property and along the roads.

Blocked drains can occur due to various reasons, including:

• Grease and fat buildup
• Hair and soap scum accumulation
• Tree roots invading the pipes
• Debris and sediment accumulation
• Poorly maintained pipes

If you notice any of the following symptoms, it's likely that your main drain is blocked:

• Slow draining water
• Gurgling sounds from the drain
• Bad smells emanating from the drain
• Water backing up into your property

If you suspect that your main drain is blocked, follow these steps:

1. Turn off the water supply: Locate the stopcock and turn it clockwise to shut off the water supply to your property.
2. Use a plunger: A plunger can help dislodge any blockages in the drain. Make sure to use a plunger that fits snugly over the drain.
3. Use a drain snake: A drain snake is a long, flexible rod that can be inserted into the drain to break up any blockages.
4. Use 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.
