Blocked Drains Harrogate

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

Before we dive into the cleaning process, it's essential to understand what causes hair to clog your shower drain. Hair, especially long hair, can accumulate in the drain and cause a blockage. This may lead to slow draining water, or in severe cases, a complete blockage.

To clean a shower drain clogged with hair, you'll need a few simple tools and some household items. Here's a step-by-step guide:

1. Use a Plunger: Start by using a plunger to create suction in the drain. This may help dislodge the hair and other debris causing the clog.
2. Baking Soda and Vinegar: Mix equal parts baking soda and vinegar to create a natural cleaning solution. Pour the mixture down the drain and let it sit for a few hours or overnight. The mixture will help break down the hair and other debris.
3. Hot Water: Pour hot water down the drain to help dissolve the hair and other debris.
4. Drain Snake: If the above methods don't work, you may need to use a drain snake (also known as an auger) to remove the clog. Feed the snake into the drain and rotate it as you push it further into the pipe.
5. Chemical Drain Cleaners: As a last resort, you can use chemical drain cleaners. However, be cautious when using these products, as they can damage your pipes and harm your skin.

To prevent future clogs, consider the following:

• Use a Drain Screen: Install a drain screen or filter to catch hair and other debris before they go down the drain.
• Regular Cleaning: Regularly clean your shower drain using the methods mentioned above.
• Be Mindful of Hair: Be mindful of hair when washing, and try to catch as much of it as possible before it goes down the drain.

If you're experiencing clogs in other areas of your home, such as the kitchen or toilet, the above methods may also apply. However, it's essential to note that different types of clogs may require different solutions.

• Kitchen Sink: For a clogged kitchen sink, try using a plunger or baking soda and vinegar.
• Toilet: For a clogged toilet, try using a plunger or a toilet auger.
