Blocked Drains Edinburgh

Are you tired of dealing with a clogged shower drain pipe in your East Lothian home? At Blocked Drains Edinburgh, we understand the frustration and inconvenience that comes with a blocked drain. In this article, we'll provide you with a step-by-step guide on how to clean your shower drain pipe effectively.

Regular drain maintenance is crucial to prevent blockages and ensure the smooth flow of waste water. A clogged drain can lead to a range of problems, including water damage, unpleasant odors, and even health hazards. By cleaning your shower drain pipe regularly, you can prevent these issues and keep your plumbing system in good working order.

To clean your shower drain pipe, you'll need the following equipment:

• A drain snake or plumber's auger
• Baking soda and vinegar
• Hot water
• A plunger (optional)

1. Remove any visible blockages: Check the drain cover and remove any visible hair or debris that may be causing the blockage.
2. Use a drain snake or plumber's auger: Feed the snake or auger into the drain pipe and rotate it as you push it further into the pipe. This will help to break up any blockages and clear the pipe.
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 plunger (optional): If the blockage is particularly stubborn, you can try using a plunger to create suction and loosen the blockage.
5. Clear the pipe: Once you've removed the blockage, use hot water to rinse the pipe and ensure it's clear.

To prevent future blockages, make sure to:

• Regularly clean your shower drain pipe
• Use a drain screen or filter to catch hair and debris
• Avoid pouring grease or oil down the drain
• Run hot water through the drain regularly to keep it clear
