Blocked Drains Lincoln

Are you tired of dealing with a clogged tub drain in your Lincolnshire home? Blocked drains can be a frustrating and unpleasant problem, especially when you're trying to relax in a warm bath. At Blocked Drains Lincoln, we understand the importance of a functioning drainage system, and we're here to provide you with a step-by-step guide on how to unblock your tub drain.

Before we dive into the solution, it's essential to understand what causes a tub drain to become blocked. In Lincolnshire, where the water table is relatively high, it's not uncommon for drains to become clogged due to the buildup of hair, soap scum, and other debris. Additionally, tree roots can infiltrate the sewer system, causing blockages and damage to the pipes.

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

• Water draining slowly or not at all
• Gurgling or bubbling sounds coming from the drain
• Bad smells emanating from the drain
• Water overflowing from the tub

1. Turn off the water supply: Before attempting to unblock the drain, make sure to turn off the water supply to the tub. This will prevent any further water from flowing into the drain and making the problem worse.
2. Remove any visible blockages: Check the drain cover or grate for any visible blockages, such as hair or soap scum. Remove any debris you find to see if it resolves the issue.
3. Use a plunger: A plunger can be an effective tool for unblocking a tub drain. Create a seal around the drain and push down on the plunger to create suction. Repeat this process several times to see if it dislodges the blockage.
4. Use a drain snake: If the plunger doesn't work, you can try using a drain snake (also known as an auger) to remove any blockages further down the drain. Feed the snake into the drain and rotate it as you push it further into the pipe.
5. Use baking soda and vinegar: For a more natural approach, try using baking soda and vinegar to dissolve any blockages. Pour 1 cup of baking soda down the drain, followed by 1 cup of vinegar. Let the mixture sit for a few hours before rinsing with hot water.
6. Call a professional: If none of the above methods work, it's likely that the blockage is more severe and requires professional attention. At Blocked Drains Lincoln, our team of experts is available 24/7 to provide emergency drainage services.

To prevent future blockages, it's essential to maintain your drainage system regularly. Here are a few tips:

• Run hot water through the drain on a regular basis to clear any debris
• Use a drain screen or filter to catch hair and other particles
• Avoid pouring grease or oil down the drain
• Consider having your drains inspected and cleaned annually
