Blocked Drains Lincoln

Are you tired of dealing with a blocked shower drain in your Lincolnshire home? Look no further, as WPS Plumbing & Drainage, a trusted drainage service provider in Lincoln, is here to guide you through the process of unblocking your shower drain using a plunger.

Before we dive into the steps, it's essential to understand how drains work and why they get blocked. Drains are designed to carry wastewater away from your home, but sometimes, hair, soap scum, and other debris can accumulate, causing blockages. In Lincolnshire, especially in areas like Grantham, it's not uncommon for homeowners to experience drainage problems.

A plunger is a simple, cost-effective, and non-invasive tool for unblocking drains. It works by creating suction to remove blockages, making it an ideal solution for minor blockages. At WPS Plumbing & Drainage, we recommend using a plunger as a first step in resolving the issue.

1. Remove any visible debris: Before using the plunger, remove any visible hair or soap scum from the shower drain.
2. Apply lubricant: Apply a small amount of lubricant, such as petroleum jelly or cooking oil, to the rim of the plunger.
3. Create suction: Place the plunger over the shower drain and push down slowly and steadily to create suction. Hold for a few seconds.
4. Release and repeat: Release the plunger and repeat the process several times. This will help loosen the blockage.
5. Check the drain: After several attempts, check the drain to see if the water is flowing freely. If not, you may need to repeat the process or consider other methods.

While a plunger can be effective in unblocking minor blockages, more severe problems may require professional attention. If you're experiencing any of the following, it's best to contact a drainage service like WPS Plumbing & Drainage:

• Severe blockages that can't be resolved with a plunger
• Persistent bad smells or odors
• Slow-draining water
• Backed-up water
