Blocked Drains Edinburgh

Are you experiencing a blocked drain in your East Lothian home or business? Before calling a professional drainage service like Blocked Drains Edinburgh, you can try using bleach to unblock your drain. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to do it safely and effectively.

1. Pour 1 cup of bleach down the drain: Start by pouring 1 cup of bleach down the sink drain. Make sure to use a mask and gloves to protect yourself from the harsh chemicals.
2. Let it sit: Allow the bleach to sit in the drain for 30 minutes to an hour. This will give it time to break down any blockages.
3. Use hot water: After the bleach has sat for the desired amount of time, pour hot water down the drain to rinse it out.
4. Use a plunger: If the blockage is still present, use a plunger to create suction and try to dislodge the blockage.
5. Check the pipe: If the blockage persists, you may need to check the pipe under the sink to see if there are any visible blockages.

1. Pour 1 cup of baking soda down the drain: If you don't have bleach or prefer not to use it, you can try using baking soda instead.
2. Follow with hot water: Pour hot water down the drain to rinse out the baking soda.
3. Use a plunger: Use a plunger to create suction and try to dislodge the blockage.

To prevent blockages from occurring in the future, make sure to:

• Dispose of grease and food waste properly: Don't pour grease or food waste down the drain, as it can solidify and cause blockages.
• Use a drain screen: Use a drain screen to catch hair and other debris before they go down the drain.
• Run hot water: Run hot water through your drains regularly to help clear out any debris.
