Clearing Blocked Drains Newcastle

Are you tired of dealing with a clogged shower drain in your South Tyneside home? A blocked drain can be frustrating and unhygienic, but the good news is that it's often an easy fix. At Clearing Blocked Drains Newcastle, we've put together a simple guide to help you clean your shower drain and get your bathroom flowing freely again.

Before we dive into the cleaning process, it's helpful to understand why shower drains get blocked in the first place. Hair, soap scum, and grease are common culprits, as they can accumulate and cause a blockage over time. If you notice that your shower drain is slow to drain or is completely blocked, it's likely that one of these substances is to blame.

Cleaning your shower drain is a relatively simple process that requires just a few basic tools. Here's what you'll need to do:

1. Remove any visible blockages: Start by removing any hair or debris that's accumulated around the drain cover. You can use a pair of tweezers or a small brush to do this.
2. Use a 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 any blockages. Feed the snake into the drain and rotate it as you push it further into the pipe.
3. Use 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 or overnight, then pour hot water down the drain to rinse.
4. Use a plunger: If the above methods don't work, try using a plunger to create suction and loosen the blockage.

While the above methods can often fix a blocked shower drain, there are times when it's best to call a professional. If you're not comfortable using a drain snake or plunger, or if the blockage persists after trying the above methods, it's time to call in the experts.
