Blocked Drains Edinburgh

Are you experiencing slow draining water in your shower or perhaps a complete blockage? Cleaning your shower drain is an essential part of maintaining your plumbing system, and at Blocked Drains Edinburgh, we're here to provide you with expert advice on how to do it effectively.

Before we dive into the cleaning process, it's essential to understand how your shower drain works. The drain is connected to a network of pipes that carry wastewater away from your home. Over time, hair, soap scum, and other debris can accumulate in the pipes, causing blockages and reducing water flow.

Regular cleaning of your shower drain can help prevent blockages, reduce the risk of water damage, and keep your plumbing system running smoothly. It's also essential for maintaining good hygiene and preventing the growth of bacteria and mold.

Cleaning your shower drain is a relatively simple process that can be done with a few basic tools. Here's a step-by-step guide:

1. Remove any visible debris: Use a pair of gloves or a drain screen to remove any visible hair or debris from the drain.
2. Use a drain snake: Feed a drain snake (also known as an auger) into the drain and rotate it as you push it further into the pipe. This will help break up any blockages.
3. Use baking soda and vinegar: Pour 1 cup of baking soda down the 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.
4. Use a high-pressure water jet: If the blockage is more severe, you may need to use a high-pressure water jet to clear the pipe. This is a specialized piece of equipment that should only be used by a professional plumber.
