Blocked Drains Edinburgh

Are you experiencing a blocked drain in East Lothian? Don't worry, we've got you covered. At Blocked Drains Edinburgh, we understand the frustration and stress that comes with a clogged drain. In this article, we'll explore the various methods and equipment you can use to unblock your drain, as well as when to seek professional help.

Before we dive into the methods, let's take a look at some of the equipment you can use to unblock your drain:

• Plunger: A plunger is a simple and effective tool for unblocking drains. It works by creating suction to remove blockages.
• Drain snake (auger): A drain snake is a long, flexible rod that can be inserted into the drain to break up blockages.
• High-pressure water jetting equipment: This equipment uses high-pressure water jets to clear blockages and clean the drain.
• Baking soda and vinegar: This natural method involves pouring baking soda and vinegar down the drain to create a chemical reaction that can help break up blockages.

Now that we've covered the equipment, let's take a look at some of the methods you can use to unblock your drain:

• Using a plunger: Start by applying a small amount of petroleum jelly to the rim of the plunger, then place it over the drain and push down slowly. Hold for a few seconds, then lift up. Repeat this process several times until the blockage is cleared.
• Using a drain snake: Insert the drain snake into the drain and rotate it as you push it further into the pipe. This will help break up any blockages.
• Using high-pressure water jetting equipment: This method is best left to professionals, as it requires specialized equipment and training.
• Using 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.

While these methods can be effective for minor blockages, there may be times when you need to seek professional help. If you're experiencing any of the following, it's best to call a professional drain unblocking service:
