Blocked Drains Lincoln

As a homeowner or property owner in Lincolnshire, dealing with a blocked drain outside can be a frustrating and messy experience. At Blocked Drains Lincoln, we understand the importance of having a functioning drainage system, and we're here to provide you with expert advice on how to unblock your outside drain.

Drains are an essential part of your property's plumbing system, responsible for carrying wastewater away from your home. However, blockages can occur due to various reasons, including:

• Grease and fat buildup
• Hair and soap scum accumulation
• Tree roots invasion
• Debris and leaves clogging the pipe

If you notice any of the following signs, it's likely that your outside drain is blocked:

• Slow draining or gurgling sounds
• Water pooling around the drain
• Bad smells or odors
• Visible blockages or debris

Before attempting to unblock your drain, it's essential to use the right products and services. At Blocked Drains Lincoln, we recommend the following:

• Drain Jetting: A high-pressure water jetting system that can effectively clear blockages and debris from your drain.
• Drain Powder: A chemical-based product that can help break down grease and fat buildup.

1. Turn off the water supply: Before starting the unblocking process, ensure that the water supply to your drain is turned off.
2. Remove visible blockages: Use a pair of gloves and a scoop or trowel to remove any visible debris or blockages from the drain.
3. Apply drain powder: Pour the recommended amount of drain powder down the drain, following the manufacturer's instructions.
4. Use a drain snake or auger: If the blockage is further down the pipe, use a drain snake or auger to break up the blockage.
5. Use drain jetting: If the blockage is severe, use a high-pressure water jetting system to clear the blockage.

As a property owner in Lincolnshire, it's your responsibility to maintain your drainage system and ensure that it's functioning correctly. Regular maintenance and inspections can help prevent blockages and other drainage problems.
