Blocked Drains Lincoln

As a homeowner in Lincolnshire, you're likely to encounter clogged drains at some point. Before calling a professional drainage service like Blocked Drains Lincoln, you may want to try some DIY methods to clear the blockage. But what can you safely put down a drain to clean it?

Your drainage system is designed to carry wastewater away from your home. However, it's not a garbage disposal, and putting the wrong things down the drain can cause blockages, damage, and costly repairs. To keep your drains flowing freely, it's essential to use the right cleaning methods and products.

Before we discuss what to put down a drain, let's cover what not to put down a drain. Avoid pouring the following items down your sink, shower, or toilet drains:

• Grease and oil
• Food waste
• Hair
• Soap scum
• Chemicals
• Paint
• Medications
  These items can cause blockages, damage your pipes, and harm the environment.

If you have a blocked drain, there are some safe and effective methods to try before calling a professional:

1. Hot Water: Pouring hot water down the drain can help dissolve grease and other blockages.
2. Baking Soda and Vinegar: Mixing baking soda and vinegar creates a natural cleaning solution that can help break down blockages.
3. Plunger: A plunger is a simple and effective tool for unclogging drains. Make sure to use a plunger specifically designed for your type of drain.
4. Drain Cleaning Products: There are many drain cleaning products available on the market. Look for products that are safe for your pipes and the environment.
5. Boiling Water: Pouring boiling water down the drain can help dissolve grease and other blockages.

Clearing a blocked drain can be costly, especially if you need to call a professional. However, there are some cost-effective solutions you can try:

1. Regular Maintenance: Regularly cleaning your drains with hot water and baking soda can help prevent blockages.
2. Using a Drain Screen: Installing a drain screen can catch hair and other debris before they go down the drain.
3. Using a Plunger: A plunger is a simple and effective tool for unclogging drains.
