Blocked Drains Edinburgh

Are you tired of dealing with a smelly shower drain in your East Lothian home? A foul odour emanating from your shower drain can be a frustrating problem, especially when you're trying to relax after a long day. In this article, we'll provide you with some tips on how to clean a smelly shower drain and prevent future blockages.

A smelly shower drain can be caused by a buildup of hair, soap scum, and other debris in the drain pipes. When these substances accumulate, they can create a blockage that prevents water from flowing freely, leading to a foul smell. Also, if your drain is not properly vented, it can cause sewer gases to rise up into your shower, creating an unpleasant odour.

Before calling a professional, you can try some DIY methods to clean your smelly shower drain. Here are a few:

1. 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, then pour hot water down the drain to rinse.
2. Boiling Water: Pour boiling water down the drain to help dissolve any blockages.
3. Drain Cleaning Products: Use a drain cleaning product, such as a drain snake or plumber's auger, to remove any blockages.

If your smelly shower drain persists after trying the DIY methods above, it's time to call a professional. A blocked drain can cause serious problems, including water damage and health risks. At Blocked Drains Edinburgh, our team of experienced engineers can quickly diagnose and fix the problem, ensuring your shower drain is flowing freely and odour-free.

To prevent future blockages and smelly shower drains, it's essential to maintain your drainage system regularly. Here are some tips:

1. Run Hot Water: Run hot water through your shower drain regularly to help dissolve any debris.
2. Use a Drain Screen: Use a drain screen to catch hair and other debris before they go down the drain.
3. Regular Maintenance: Regularly inspect and clean your drain pipes to prevent blockages.
