Blocked Drains Harrogate

Are you tired of dealing with a clogged bathtub drain in your North Yorkshire home? Hair is a common culprit when it comes to drain blockages, but fortunately, there are several methods to clean and remove hair from your bathtub drain. At Future Drainage and Groundworks, we've put together a step-by-step guide to help you tackle this issue.

Hair can accumulate in your bathtub drain over time, causing water to back up and creating an unpleasant experience. When hair combines with other debris, such as soap scum and grease, it can form a stubborn clog that's difficult to remove.

One of the simplest ways to clean hair from your bathtub drain is by using boiling water. Pour a kettle of boiling water down the drain to help loosen and dissolve any hair and debris. Be careful not to splash the water, as it can cause burns.

For a more eco-friendly approach, try using baking soda and vinegar. Pour 1 cup of baking soda down the drain, followed by 1 cup of vinegar. Let the mixture sit for a few hours or overnight, allowing it to break down the hair and debris. Then, pour hot water down the drain to rinse.

If the above methods don't work, it's time to bring in the big guns. Use a plunger to create suction and loosen the hair clog. Make sure to cover the overflow hole with a stopper to increase the pressure. If you're not comfortable using a plunger, consider calling a professional drain cleaning service like Future Drainage and Groundworks.

For more severe clogs, you may need to use a drain jetting service. This involves using high-pressure water jets to blast away the hair and debris. This method is usually more effective than plunging, but it may require professional assistance.

To prevent hair from clogging your bathtub drain in the future, consider using a drain screen or filter to catch loose hair before it goes down the drain. You can also use a drain maintenance product to help break down hair and debris.

If you've tried the above methods and still can't remove the hair clog, it's time to call a professional drain cleaning service like Future Drainage and Groundworks. Our team of experienced drain specialists can use advanced equipment and techniques to remove even the toughest clogs.
