Blocked Drains Lincoln

Are you tired of dealing with a clogged shower drain pipe in your Lincolnshire home? A blocked shower drain can be frustrating and inconvenient, especially when you're in a hurry to get ready for work or school. In this article, we'll provide you with a step-by-step guide on how to unblock your shower drain pipe, saving you time and money.

Before we dive into the solution, it's essential to understand what causes a shower drain to become blocked. Hair, soap scum, and grease are common culprits that can clog your shower drain pipe. Over time, these substances can accumulate and cause a blockage, leading to slow draining water or even a complete blockage.

To unblock your shower drain pipe, you'll need the following tools and materials:

• A plunger
• A drain snake (also known as an auger)
• Baking soda
• Vinegar
• Hot water
• A bucket or container to catch any water that may spill out

1. Remove any visible blockages: Before you start, remove any visible hair or debris from the shower drain cover.
2. Use a plunger: Place the plunger over the shower drain and push down slowly and steadily until you feel resistance. Hold for a few seconds, then lift up. Repeat this process several times to create suction and loosen any blockages.
3. Use a drain snake: If the plunger doesn't work, it's time to use a drain snake. Feed the snake into the shower drain pipe and rotate it as you push it further into the pipe. This will help break up any blockages.
4. Use baking soda and vinegar: Pour 1 cup of baking soda down the shower 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.
5. Use hot water: Pour hot water down the shower drain to rinse away any remaining blockages.

To prevent future blockages, consider the following tips:

• Use a drain screen or filter to catch hair and other debris before they go down the drain.
• Run hot water through your shower drain pipe regularly to clear any buildup.
• Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage your pipes.
