Blocked Drains Edinburgh

Are you experiencing issues with your outside drains in East Lothian? Blocked drains can be a frustrating and stressful problem, especially when they cause water to back up into your property. At Blocked Drains Edinburgh, we understand the importance of keeping your drains clear and flowing freely. In this article, we'll provide you with some natural methods to unblock your outside drains, as well as information on our professional drain unblocking services.

Before we dive into the natural methods of unblocking outside drains, it's essential to understand what causes blockages in the first place. Some common causes of blocked outside drains include:

• Leaves and debris accumulating in the drain
• Grease and fat from cooking oil and food waste
• Hair and soap scum from washing machines and sinks
• Tree roots growing into the pipework

If you're looking for a natural and non-invasive way to unblock your outside drains, here are some methods you can try:

1. 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.
2. Boiling Water: Pour a kettle of boiling water down the drain to help dissolve any grease or debris that may be causing the blockage.
3. Salt and Baking Soda: Mix equal parts salt and baking soda, then pour the mixture down the drain. Let it sit for a few hours, then rinse with hot water.
4. Use a Drain Snake: A drain snake is a long, flexible rod that can be inserted into the drain to break up any blockages.
