Blocked Drains Harrogate

Are you experiencing a clogged drain in your North Yorkshire home or business? Before calling a professional drainage service, you can try using a simple and non-toxic method to unblock your drain using bicarbonate of soda (baking soda) and vinegar. This method is environmentally friendly and can be effective in clearing minor blockages.

Bicarbonate of soda (soda) is a natural abrasive that can help break down and dissolve grease and other debris that may be causing the blockage in your drain. When combined with vinegar, a chemical reaction occurs that produces carbon dioxide gas, which can help dislodge and clear the blockage.

1. Pour 1 cup of bicarbonate of soda down the drain. This will help to break down and dissolve any grease or debris that may be causing the blockage.
2. Follow with 1 cup of vinegar. The acid in the vinegar will react with the bicarbonate of soda to produce carbon dioxide gas, which will help to dislodge and clear the blockage.
3. Allow the mixture to sit in the drain for 30 minutes to an hour. This will give the mixture time to work its way through the pipes and clear the blockage.
4. Pour hot water down the drain to rinse away any remaining debris and bicarbonate of soda.

• Before attempting to unblock your drain, make sure to turn off the water supply to the affected area to prevent any further water from flowing into the drain.
• If you have a septic system, do not use this method as it can disrupt the balance of bacteria in the system.
• If you have old or corroded pipes, this method may not be effective and could potentially cause further damage.
• If the blockage persists after trying this method, it may be necessary to call a professional drainage service, such as Future Drainage and Groundworks, to clear the blockage.
