Clearing Blocked Drains Newcastle

Are you dealing with a stubborn blockage in your outside drain in South Tyneside? Caustic soda can be an effective solution, but it's crucial to use it safely and correctly to avoid damaging your pipes or putting yourself at risk. At Clearing Blocked Drains Newcastle, we've got the expertise to help you tackle even the toughest drainage problems.

Caustic soda, also known as sodium hydroxide, is a strong chemical that can dissolve grease, fat, and other substances that cause blockages in drains. When used correctly, it can be a powerful tool for unblocking outside drains. However, it's essential to exercise caution when handling caustic soda, as it can cause serious burns and eye damage.

If you're determined to try using caustic soda to unblock your outside drain, follow these steps carefully:

1. Wear protective gear, including gloves, goggles, and a face mask.
2. Pour 1-2 cups of caustic soda down the drain, depending on the severity of the blockage.
3. Follow the caustic soda with 2-3 cups of hot water to help it dissolve.
4. Allow the mixture to sit in the drain for 30 minutes to an hour.
5. Pour hot water down the drain to rinse away the caustic soda and any remaining blockages.

While caustic soda can be an effective solution for unblocking outside drains, it's not always the best option. If you're not comfortable using strong chemicals or if the blockage persists after trying caustic soda, it's time to call in the professionals.
