Blocked Drains Edinburgh

Are you tired of dealing with a clogged shower drain in your East Lothian home? A blocked shower drain can be frustrating and unhygienic, but fortunately, there are steps you can take to clean it. At Blocked Drains Edinburgh, our team of expert plumbers is here to provide you with guidance on how to clean a blocked shower drain and offer our professional drainage services if needed.

Before we dive into the cleaning process, it's essential to understand what causes drain blockages. Hair, soap scum, and grease are common culprits that can clog your shower drain. Additionally, food particles and other debris can accumulate and cause blockages. Regular cleaning and maintenance can help prevent these issues.

1. Remove any visible blockages: Check your shower drain for any visible hair or debris. Use a pair of gloves or a drain screen to remove any blockages.
2. Use a plunger: A plunger can be an effective tool in unclogging a blocked shower drain. Make sure the plunger is properly seated over the drain, then push down and pull up to create suction.
3. Use baking soda and vinegar: Mix equal parts baking soda and vinegar to create a natural cleaning solution. Pour the mixture down the drain and let it sit for a few hours. Then, pour hot water down the drain to rinse.
4. Use a drain snake: A drain snake (also known as an auger) can help remove any stubborn blockages. Feed the snake into the drain and rotate it as you push it further into the pipe.
5. Use high-pressure water jetting: If the above methods don't work, you may need to use high-pressure water jetting to clear the blockage. This method is best left to professionals, as it requires specialized equipment.

If you're not comfortable with DIY cleaning or if the blockage persists after trying the above methods, it's time to call a professional plumber.
