Blocked Drains Harrogate

Are you tired of dealing with clogged drains in your North Yorkshire home? Hair is one of the most common causes of blocked drains, especially in the shower and kitchen. At Blocked Drains Harrogate, we've put together a step-by-step guide on how to clean hair out of drains to help you avoid costly plumbing repairs.

Hair is a major contributor to clogged drains because it tends to cling to the sides of pipes and accumulate over time. When combined with other debris like soap scum and grease, hair can create a stubborn blockage that's difficult to remove. In North Yorkshire, where hard water is common, mineral deposits can also exacerbate the problem.

For a natural and non-invasive approach, try using a mixture of vinegar and baking soda to clean your drains. 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, then pour hot water down the drain to rinse. This method is effective for removing minor hair clogs and maintaining your drains.

A drain guard is a simple and effective way to prevent hair from entering your drains. These devices fit over the drain and catch hair before it goes down the pipe. Simply remove the guard and clean it regularly to prevent clogs. This method is particularly useful for showers and kitchen sinks.

For more stubborn clogs, you may need to use a plunger or plumbing snake. These tools can help dislodge hair and other debris that's accumulated in your drains. Be careful not to push the clog further into the pipe, as this can make the problem worse.

If you've tried the above methods and your drain is still clogged, it's time to call a professional.
