Blocked Drains Harrogate

Are you tired of dealing with a clogged shower drain in your North Yorkshire home? A blocked shower drain can be frustrating and unhygienic, but fortunately, there are some simple steps you can take to clean out the trap and get your shower flowing freely again.

The drain trap, also known as a P-trap, is a curved pipe under your shower that catches any debris or hair that tries to flow down the drain. Over time, this debris can accumulate and cause a blockage, leading to slow draining or even a complete clog.

Before calling a professional drainage company, you can try a few DIY methods to clean out your shower drain trap:

1. Use a Plunger: A plunger can be an effective tool for unclogging a shower drain. Simply place the plunger over the drain and push down slowly and steadily until you feel resistance. Hold for a few seconds, then lift up. Repeat this process several times to try and dislodge the blockage.
2. Use Hot Water: Pouring hot water down the drain can help to loosen any debris that's causing the blockage. Be careful not to use boiling water, as this can damage your pipes.
3. Use a Drain Snake: A drain snake, also known as an auger, is a long, flexible rod that can be inserted into the drain to break up any blockages. You can purchase a drain snake at most hardware stores or home improvement centers.

If you've tried the above methods and your shower drain is still clogged, it may be time to call a professional drainage company. At Blocked Drains Harrogate, we have the expertise and equipment to quickly and effectively clean out your shower drain trap and get your shower flowing freely again.

To prevent future clogs, it's a good idea to clean your shower drain regularly. You can do this by:

• Pouring a mixture of baking soda and vinegar down the drain to help break down any debris
• Using a drain screen or filter to catch hair and other debris before it goes down the drain
• Running hot water through the drain on a regular basis to help keep it clear
