Blocked Drains Lincoln

Are you tired of standing in a pool of water while taking a shower due to a blocked drain? Don't worry, unblocking a shower drain is a relatively simple task that can be done at home in Lincolnshire. In this article, we'll guide you through the steps to clear a clogged shower drain and get your bathroom back to normal.

Before you start, it's essential to understand what's causing the blockage. Hair, soap scum, and grease are common culprits that can clog your shower drain. If you notice that your shower drain is slow to drain or not draining at all, it's likely that there's a blockage in the pipes.

1. Get a plunger: A plunger is a simple and effective tool to clear blockages in your shower 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 drains freely.
2. Use a drain snake: If the plunger doesn't work, try using a drain snake (also known as an auger). This long, flexible rod 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.
3. Baking soda and vinegar: Mix equal parts baking soda and vinegar to create a natural cleaning solution. Pour the mixture down the drain and let it sit for a few hours or overnight. The mixture will help break down any blockages and clear the drain.
4. Hot water: Pour hot water down the drain to help dissolve any grease or soap scum that may be causing the blockage.

To prevent future blockages, make sure to:

• Use a drain screen or filter to catch hair and other debris before they go down the drain.
• Run hot water through the drain on a weekly basis to help clear any buildup.
• Avoid pouring grease or soap scum down the drain.
