Blocked Drains Harrogate

Are you tired of dealing with a clogged shower drain in your North Yorkshire home? Hair is one of the most common causes of shower drain blockages, and it can be frustrating to deal with. At Future Drainage and Groundworks, we've put together a step-by-step guide on how to clean hair out of a shower drain.

Hair can easily accumulate in your shower drain, causing a clog that prevents water from flowing freely. This can lead to a buildup of water in your shower, making it difficult to use. The good news is that cleaning hair out of a shower drain is a relatively simple process that you can do yourself.

A drain snake, also known as an auger, is a long, flexible rod that can be inserted into your shower drain to remove hair and other debris. To use a drain snake, follow these steps:

1. Remove any visible hair from the shower drain cover.
2. Insert the drain snake into the drain and rotate it as you push it further into the pipe.
3. Continue to rotate the snake until you feel resistance, which indicates that you've reached the clog.
4. Hold the snake in place and pull it back out, bringing the hair and debris with it.

If you don't have a drain snake, you can try using baking soda and vinegar to clean your shower drain. This method is non-invasive and environmentally friendly.

1. Pour 1 cup of baking soda down the shower drain.
2. Follow with 1 cup of vinegar.
3. Let the mixture sit for a few hours or overnight.
4. Pour hot water down the drain to rinse it.

A drain guard is a simple device that can be placed over your shower drain to catch hair and other debris before they go down the drain. To use a drain guard, simply place it over the drain and clean it regularly.

To prevent future clogs, it's essential to maintain your shower drain regularly. Here are a few tips:

• Use a drain guard to catch hair and other debris.
• Run hot water through your shower drain regularly to clear any debris.
• Use a drain snake or baking soda and vinegar to clean your shower drain every few months.
