Blocked Drains Harrogate

Are you tired of dealing with a clogged sink drain in your North Yorkshire home? Look no further than this simple and effective method using baking soda and vinegar. At Future Drainage and Groundworks, we're always looking for ways to help our customers in Harrogate and the surrounding areas maintain their drains and avoid costly repairs.

Baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) is a natural abrasive that can help break down grease and debris in your sink drain. Vinegar, on the other hand, is a natural acid that can help dissolve mineral deposits and other substances that can clog your drain. When combined, these two household staples can create a powerful cleaning solution.

1. Pour 1/2 cup of baking soda down the drain: This will help break down any grease or debris that may be clogging your drain.
2. Follow with 1 cup of vinegar: The acid in the vinegar will help dissolve any mineral deposits and react with the baking soda to create a fizzing action that can help loosen clogs.
3. Let it sit: Allow the mixture to sit in the drain for 2-3 hours or overnight. This will give the baking soda and vinegar time to work their magic.
4. Use hot water: After the mixture has sat for the desired amount of time, pour a kettle of boiling water down the drain to rinse it out. This will help wash away any remaining debris and baking soda.
5. Repeat if necessary: If your drain is still clogged after the first treatment, you can repeat the process until the water flows freely.

• Use a great amount of caution when working with hot water: Be careful not to splash the water or burn yourself.
• Avoid using this method on drains with standing water: If your sink is filled with water, you'll need to use a different method to clear the clog.
• Don't use this method on drains with severe clogs: If you have a severe clog, it may be best to call a professional drain cleaning service like Future Drainage and Groundworks.
