Blocked Drains Edinburgh

Are you tired of dealing with a clogged shower drain in your East Lothian home? Before calling in the experts, you can try using a plunger to unblock your shower drain. In this article, we'll guide you through the process of using a plunger to unclog your shower drain and provide you with some helpful tips.

Before you start, it's essential to understand what's causing the blockage. In most cases, shower drain blockages are caused by a buildup of hair, soap scum, and other debris. If you're experiencing frequent blockages, it may be worth considering a drain maintenance service to prevent future issues.

To unblock your shower drain with a plunger, follow these steps:

1. Remove any visible blockages: Before using the plunger, remove any visible hair or debris from the drain.
2. Apply the plunger: Place the plunger over the drain, making sure the rubber edge is seated snugly around the drain.
3. Plunge the drain: Slowly push the plunger down, then pull it back up. Repeat this motion several times to create suction.
4. Check the water flow: After plunging, check the water flow by running some water through the drain. If the water flows freely, you've successfully unclogged your shower drain.

• Use the right plunger: Make sure you're using a plunger specifically designed for sink and shower drains.
• Use hot water: Hot water can help loosen any blockages, making it easier to unclog your shower drain.
• Be gentle: Avoid using too much force, as this can damage your pipes or push the blockage further into the drain.
