Blocked Drains Harrogate

Are you tired of dealing with clogged drains in your North Yorkshire home? Look no further than a simple and effective DIY solution using baking soda. At Future Drainage and Groundworks, we've seen our fair share of blocked drains, but with this method, you can try to clear the issue yourself before calling in the professionals.

Baking soda, also known as sodium bicarbonate, is a natural cleaner and deodorizer that can help break down grease and other substances that clog your drains. When combined with vinegar, it creates a chemical reaction that can help dissolve and clear blockages.

To clean your drains with baking soda, follow these steps:

1. Pour 1 cup of baking soda down the drain. This will help to break down any grease or debris that's causing the clog.
2. Follow with 1 cup of vinegar. The acid in the vinegar will react with the baking soda to create a fizzing action that helps to break down the blockage.
3. Let it sit for a few hours or overnight. This will allow the mixture to work its way through the drain and break down any tough blockages.
4. Pour hot water down the drain to rinse it thoroughly. This will help to clear any remaining debris and baking soda residue.
5. Add 1/2 cup of salt to the drain and follow with hot water. The abrasive nature of salt can help to scrub away any remaining blockages and leave your drain smelling fresh.

• For tougher clogs, you can repeat the process a few times until the blockage is cleared.
• If you have a particularly stubborn clog, you can use a plunger in conjunction with the baking soda and vinegar method.
• To prevent clogs from forming in the future, try pouring 1 cup of baking soda down your drain every few months and following with hot water.

While the baking soda method can be effective for minor clogs, there may be times when you need to call in a professional drain cleaning service. If you're experiencing:
