Blocked Drains Harrogate

Are you tired of dealing with a smelly shower drain in your North Yorkshire home? A foul odor emanating from your shower drain can be unpleasant and embarrassing, especially when you have guests over. At Blocked Drains Harrogate, we understand the importance of maintaining a clean and hygienic home, and we're here to help you tackle the issue of a smelly shower drain.

Before we dive into the cleaning process, it's essential to understand what causes a smelly shower drain. Some common culprits include:

• Hair and soap scum buildup
• Grease and oil accumulation
• Mineral deposits
• Sewage backup
• Blockages in the drain pipes

To clean your shower drain and eliminate the smell, follow these steps:

1. Use 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, then pour hot water down the drain to rinse.
2. Use a drain cleaner: If the baking soda and vinegar method doesn't work, you can try using a chemical drain cleaner. However, be sure to follow the instructions carefully and take necessary safety precautions.
3. Use a plunger: If the blockage is further down the drain, you may need to use a plunger to create suction and dislodge the clog.
4. Use hot water: Pouring hot water down the drain can help dissolve any grease or oil buildup and wash away any debris.

To prevent future smells from occurring, consider the following:

• Regularly clean your shower drain: Set a reminder to clean your shower drain every 1-2 months to prevent buildup.
• Use a drain screen: Installing a drain screen can help catch hair and other debris before they go down the drain.
• Avoid pouring grease and oil down the drain: These substances can solidify and cause blockages, leading to smelly drains.
• Check for leaks: If you notice water leaking from your shower drain, it may be a sign of a more significant issue. Contact a professional plumber to inspect and repair the leak.

If you've tried the above methods and the smell persists, it may be time to seek professional help. At Blocked Drains Harrogate, our team of experienced drain specialists can help diagnose and fix the issue. We use state-of-the-art equipment, including CCTV cameras and high-pressure water jetting, to identify and clear blockages.
