Are you tired of dealing with a clogged standing shower drain in your North Yorkshire property? Standing water in your shower can be frustrating and even pose health risks if not addressed promptly. At Blocked Drains Harrogate, we understand the importance of maintaining a clean and functional drainage system. In this article, we'll provide you with a step-by-step guide on how to clean a standing shower drain and offer expert help when you need it.

A clogged shower drain can be caused by a buildup of debris, such as hair, soap scum, and grease, which can accumulate over time and block the pipe. If not cleaned regularly, this can lead to more severe problems, including sewage backups and damage to your property's sewer system.

Before you start cleaning your shower drain, make sure to turn off the water supply to the shower. You can do this by locating the shut-off valves behind the shower and turning them clockwise.

1. Remove any visible debris: Use a drain screen or a pair of gloves to remove any visible hair or debris from the drain.
2. Use a drain cleaner: Pour a drain cleaner down the drain and let it sit for a few minutes. This will help break down any tough blockages.
3. Use a plunger: Plunge the drain to create suction and loosen any remaining blockages.
4. Use a drain snake: If the plunger doesn't work, use a drain snake to remove any stubborn blockages.
5. Flush the drain: Once you've removed any blockages, flush the drain with hot water to ensure it's flowing freely.

Ignoring a clogged shower drain can lead to more severe problems, including sewage backups and damage to your property's sewer system. It's essential to address the issue promptly to avoid any further complications.
