Blocked Drains Edinburgh

Are you dealing with a clogged sink in East Lothian, caused by a pesky hair blockage? Don't worry, we've got you covered. At Blocked Drains Edinburgh, our team of experts is here to provide you with a step-by-step guide on how to unblock your sink and get your water flowing freely again.

Hair is a common culprit when it comes to sink blockages. When hair accumulates in your drain, it can cause a blockage that prevents water from flowing freely. This can lead to a range of problems, including slow draining, gurgling sounds, and even overflowing.

There are several methods you can try to unblock your sink, depending on the severity of the blockage. Here are a few options:

1. Plunger: A plunger is a simple and effective tool for clearing blockages. Make sure the plunger is properly seated over the drain, then push down and pull up quickly to create suction.
2. Drain Snake: A drain snake, also known as an auger, is a long, flexible rod that can be inserted into the drain to break up blockages.
3. Baking Soda and Vinegar: Mix equal parts baking soda and vinegar to create a natural cleaning solution. Pour the mixture down the drain and let it sit for a few hours before rinsing with hot water.
4. High-Pressure Water Jetting: For more severe blockages, high-pressure water jetting may be necessary. This involves using a powerful jet of water to blast away the blockage.

The cost of unblocking a sink can vary depending on the method used and the severity of the blockage. Here are some estimated costs:

• Plunger: £0 (if you already have one)
• Drain Snake: £20-£50
• Baking Soda and Vinegar: £0 (if you already have the ingredients)
• High-Pressure Water Jetting: £100-£300

To prevent future blockages, it's essential to maintain your drains regularly. Here are a few tips:

• Run hot water through your drains regularly to clear any debris.
• Use a drain screen or filter to catch hair and other particles before they go down the drain.
• Avoid pouring grease and oil down the drain, as these can solidify and cause blockages.
