Blocked Drains Edinburgh

Are you experiencing a blocked shower drain in your East Lothian home? Don't worry, it's a common issue that can be easily resolved with the right techniques and tools. At Blocked Drains Edinburgh, our team of expert plumbers is here to guide you through the process of unblocking your shower drain and provide a reliable drainage service.

Before we dive into the unblocking process, it's essential to understand what causes blockages in shower drains. The most common culprits are:

• Hair: Long hair can easily get tangled in the drain, causing a blockage.
• Soap scum and grease: These substances can build up in the pipes and restrict water flow.
• Mineral deposits: Hard water can lead to mineral deposits in the pipes, causing blockages.

To unblock your shower drain, follow these steps:

1. Remove any visible blockages: Check the drain cover and remove any visible hair or debris.
2. Use a plunger: A plunger can create suction to dislodge any blockages in the pipe. Make sure to create a good seal around the drain and plunge slowly and steadily.
3. Use a drain snake: A drain snake (also known as an auger) can be used to remove any blockages further down the pipe. Feed the snake into the drain and rotate it as you push it further into the pipe.
4. 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, then pour hot water down the drain to rinse.
5. Use a high-pressure water jet: If the above methods don't work, you may need to use a high-pressure water jet to clear the blockage. This is a more advanced technique and may require the assistance of a professional plumber.

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

• Use a drain screen: A drain screen can catch hair and other debris before they go down the drain.
• Run hot water: Running hot water through the drain on a regular basis can help to clear any debris and mineral deposits.
• Use a natural drain cleaner: There are many natural drain cleaners available that can help to break down any blockages and keep your pipes flowing freely.
