Blocked Drains Lincoln

Are you tired of dealing with a clogged shower drain in your Lincolnshire home? Hair is one of the most common causes of blockages in shower drains, and it can be frustrating to deal with. At Blocked Drains Lincoln, we understand the importance of having a clear and functioning shower drain. In this article, we will provide you with some effective methods to unblock your shower drain from hair.

Hair can accumulate in your shower drain over time, causing a blockage that prevents water from flowing freely. This can lead to slow draining, backups, and even overflows. The good news is that there are several methods you can use to clear the blockage and get your shower drain flowing again.

1. Use 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 blockage is cleared.
2. Use a Drain Snake: A drain snake, also known as an 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 can help to break up hair and other debris that may be causing the blockage.
3. Use Baking Soda and Vinegar: This is a natural and non-toxic method to clear blockages in your shower drain. 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.
4. Use a Chemical Drain Cleaner: If the above methods do not work, you can try using a chemical drain cleaner. These products contain harsh chemicals that can break up and dissolve blockages. However, be sure to follow the instructions carefully and take necessary safety precautions.

To prevent future blockages in your shower drain, 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 regular basis to help clear any buildup.
• Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that can damage your pipes.
• Consider using a natural drain cleaner or maintenance product to keep your drains clear and flowing.
