Clearing Blocked Drains Newcastle

Are you tired of dealing with a washing machine drain pipe that smells like a sewer? Do you dread the thought of doing laundry because of the foul odour that lingers in your washing machine? You're not alone. Many homeowners in South Tyneside struggle with this issue, but the good news is that it's relatively easy to fix.

Before we dive into the solution, it's essential to understand what causes smelly washing machine drain pipes. The most common culprit is a buildup of debris, detergent residue, and fabric softener residue in the drain pipe. Over time, these substances can accumulate and create a perfect breeding ground for bacteria, which thrive in moist environments. As the bacteria multiply, they release a foul-smelling gas that makes your washing machine drain pipe smell like a sewer.

Cleaning a smelly washing machine drain pipe is a relatively simple process that requires some basic tools and a bit of elbow grease. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you get started:

1. Disconnect the drain pipe from the washing machine and locate the blockage.
2. Use a drain snake or plumber's auger to remove any visible blockages.
3. Mix equal parts of baking soda and vinegar to create a natural cleaning solution.
4. Pour the solution down the drain pipe and let it sit for a few hours or overnight.
5. Use hot water to rinse the drain pipe and remove any remaining debris.
