Blocked Drains Lincoln

Are you experiencing a clogged bath drain in your Lincolnshire home? Don't worry, it's a common issue that can be resolved with the right techniques and tools. In this article, we'll provide you with a step-by-step guide on how to unblock your bath drain, as well as offer expert advice from WPS Plumbing & Drainage, a trusted drainage services provider in Lincolnshire.

Before we dive into the solution, it's essential to understand what causes a blocked bath drain. Hair, soap scum, and grease are common culprits that can clog your drain. In Lincolnshire, particularly in areas like Grantham, Retford, and Lincoln, the constituency's sewer system can also contribute to blocked drains.

Start by removing any visible debris from the bath drain. Use a pair of gloves or a drain screen to scoop out any hair or soap scum that may be clogging the drain.

A plunger is a simple and effective tool to unblock a bath drain. Make sure the plunger is properly seated over the drain, then push down and pull up quickly to create suction. Repeat this process several times until the water starts to drain freely.

For tougher 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 or overnight, then pour hot water down the drain to rinse.

If the above methods don'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 none of the above methods work, it's time to call a professional drainage services provider like WPS Plumbing & Drainage. Our team of experts has the tools and expertise to diagnose and fix even the most stubborn blockages.

To prevent future blockages, make sure to:

• Regularly clean your bath drain with a drain screen or filter
• Avoid pouring grease and oil down the drain
• Use a drain maintenance product to keep your drains flowing freely

While we're on the topic of drains, it's worth mentioning that kitchen drains can also be prone to blockages. To prevent this, make sure to:

• Scrape off excess food from plates before washing
• Avoid pouring grease and oil down the drain
• Run hot water through the drain regularly to keep it flowing freely
