Clearing Blocked Drains Newcastle

Are you tired of dealing with blocked drains in your South Tyneside home or business? Caustic soda, also known as sodium hydroxide, is a common solution used to clear blockages in drains. However, it's essential to use it safely and effectively to avoid damaging your pipes or putting yourself at risk.

Caustic soda is a strong alkaline substance that dissolves grease, hair, and other debris that can clog your drains. When you pour caustic soda down your drain, it reacts with the water to produce heat, which helps to break down the blockage. The soda also helps to dissolve any fatty deposits that may be causing the blockage, allowing water to flow freely through your pipes again.

To use caustic soda to clear a blocked drain, follow these steps:

1. Pour 1-2 cups of caustic soda down the drain, depending on the severity of the blockage.
2. Follow the soda with 2-3 cups of hot water to help the soda dissolve and react with the blockage.
3. Allow the mixture to sit in the drain for 30 minutes to an hour before rinsing with hot water.
4. Repeat the process if the blockage persists.

While caustic soda can be an effective solution for clearing blocked drains, it's essential to use it safely to avoid damaging your pipes or putting yourself at risk. Always wear protective gloves and eyewear when handling caustic soda, and make sure the area is well-ventilated to avoid inhaling the fumes. Never mix caustic soda with other chemicals, as this can create a hazardous reaction.

While caustic soda can be an effective solution for clearing blocked drains, there may be times when it's not enough to resolve the issue. If you've tried using caustic soda and the blockage persists, or if you're not comfortable using the substance yourself, it's time to call a professional.
