Blocked Drains Edinburgh

Are you experiencing issues with your shower drain trap in East Lothian? A clogged shower drain can be frustrating and unhygienic. At Blocked Drains Edinburgh, we provide expert drainage services, including shower drain cleaning and unblocking, to homeowners and businesses in East Lothian, including Dunbar.

Your shower drain trap is a curved pipe under the shower that prevents sewer gases from entering your home. It's designed to hold a small amount of water, which acts as a barrier against these gases. However, hair, soap scum, and other debris can accumulate in the trap, causing blockages and bad odors.

To clean your shower drain trap, follow these steps:

1. Use a drain snake or rods: Insert the snake or rods into the drain and rotate them to break up any blockages.
2. 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.
3. Boiling water: Pour boiling water down the drain to dissolve any grease or debris.
4. Drain cleaning products: Use a chemical drain cleaner, but be careful, as these products can damage your pipes.

The cost of cleaning a shower drain trap can vary depending on the severity of the blockage and the method used. If you're using DIY methods, the cost will be minimal. However, if you need to call a professional, the cost can range from £50 to £200, depending on the complexity of the job.

To prevent blockages in your shower drain trap, consider the following:

• Use a drain screen: A drain screen can catch hair and other debris before they enter the drain.
• Run hot water: Run hot water through the drain regularly to dissolve any grease or debris.
• Use a natural drain cleaner: Use a natural drain cleaner, such as baking soda and vinegar, to clean your drain regularly.
