Blocked Drains Harrogate

Are you tired of dealing with a slow-draining sink or shower in your North Yorkshire property? Hair is a common culprit behind clogged drains, and it can be a frustrating problem to tackle. At Blocked Drains Harrogate, we've put together a step-by-step guide on how to clean a drain clogged with hair.

Hair can accumulate in your drains over time, causing a clog that prevents water from flowing freely. When hair combines with other debris, such as soap scum and grease, it can create a stubborn blockage that's difficult to remove. If you're experiencing slow draining or a complete blockage, it's essential to act quickly to prevent further damage to your drainage system.

1. Pour hot water down the drain to help loosen the hair clog.
2. Use a plunger to create suction on the clogged drain. Make sure the plunger is properly seated over the drain, then push down and pull up quickly to create suction.
3. Repeat the process several times to try and dislodge the hair clog.

1. Pour 1 cup of baking soda down the drain, followed by 1 cup of vinegar.
2. Let the mixture sit for a few hours or overnight to allow it to work its way through the clog.
3. Pour hot water down the drain to rinse away the mixture and hopefully clear the clog.

1. Use a drain snake (also known as an auger) to physically remove the hair clog.
2. Feed the snake into the drain and rotate it as you push it further into the pipe.
3. When you feel resistance, it means you've reached the clog. Hold the snake in place and twist it to break up the hair.

To prevent hair clogs from forming in the future, consider the following tips:

• Use a drain screen or filter to catch hair before it goes down the drain.
• Run hot water through your drains regularly to help clear any debris.
• Avoid pouring grease and soap scum down the drain, as these can contribute to clogs.
• Consider using a natural drain cleaner, such as baking soda and vinegar, to maintain your drains.
