Blocked Drains Edinburgh

Are you tired of dealing with a clogged shower drain in your East Lothian home? Cleaning a non-removable shower drain can be a challenge, but with the right techniques and tools, you can keep your drainage system flowing freely. At Blocked Drains Edinburgh, we understand the importance of maintaining a clean and functional shower drain. In this article, we'll provide you with a step-by-step guide on how to clean a non-removable shower drain.

Hair, soap scum, and other debris can accumulate in your shower drain, causing blockages and reducing water flow. If left unattended, these blockages can lead to costly repairs and even damage to your property. Regular cleaning can help prevent these issues and keep your shower drain flowing smoothly.

• A drain snake or plumber's auger
• Baking soda and vinegar
• Hot water
• A plunger
• High-pressure water jetting equipment (optional)

Use a drain snake or plumber's auger to remove any visible hair and debris from the drain. Feed the snake into the drain and rotate it as you push it further into the pipe. This will help break up any blockages and allow you to remove them.

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, allowing it to break down any tough blockages. Then, pour hot water down the drain to rinse away the mixture.

If the blockage persists, use a plunger to create suction and loosen any remaining debris. Make sure the plunger is properly seated over the drain, then push down and pull up quickly to create suction.

If the blockage is severe or you're not comfortable using a drain snake or plunger, consider hiring a professional to use high-pressure water jetting equipment. This will blast away any blockages and leave your drain flowing freely.

Regular cleaning can help prevent costly repairs and reduce the need for professional drain cleaning services. However, if you do need to hire a professional, costs can vary depending on the severity of the blockage and the equipment required.
