Clearing Blocked Drains Newcastle

As a homeowner in South Tyneside, you're probably no stranger to the frustration of a clogged drain. But before you reach for the phone to call a plumber, you might be wondering if there's a simpler solution. Can baking powder really unblock drains? The answer is yes, but with some caveats.

Baking powder is a natural cleaner that can help break down grease and debris in your drains. When combined with hot water, it can create a chemical reaction that helps to dissolve blockages. The baking powder reacts with the acid in the grease to produce carbon dioxide gas, which helps to dislodge the clog. However, this method is best suited for minor blockages and may not be effective for more serious clogs.

If you're experiencing a slow-draining sink or a minor clog, baking powder might be worth a try. Here's a simple recipe you can follow:

• Pour 1 cup of baking powder down the drain
• Follow with 1 cup of hot water
• Let the mixture sit for a few hours or overnight
• Pour another cup of hot water down the drain to rinse

If you've tried using baking powder to unblock your drain and it hasn't worked, it's likely that the clog is more serious. In this case, it's best to call a professional plumber who can use specialized equipment to diagnose and fix the problem.
