Blocked Drains Edinburgh

As a homeowner in East Lothian, you understand the importance of maintaining a clean and functional shower drain. A clogged shower drain can be frustrating and unpleasant, leading to slow water drainage, unpleasant odors, and even water damage. In this article, we will provide you with a step-by-step guide on how to clean your shower drain effectively.

Over time, your shower drain can accumulate hair, soap scum, and other debris, leading to blockages and slow water drainage. If left unattended, these blockages can cause more severe problems, such as water damage, mold growth, and unpleasant odors. Regular cleaning of your shower drain can help prevent these issues and ensure a smooth, efficient drainage system.

1. Remove visible debris: Start by removing any visible hair or debris from the shower drain cover. You can use a pair of needle-nose pliers or a small screwdriver to remove any large clumps.
2. Use a drain snake: A drain snake is a long, flexible rod that can be inserted into the drain to break up any blockages. Feed the snake into the drain and rotate it as you push it further into 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: If the above methods don't work, try using a plunger to create suction and loosen any blockages.
