Blocked Drains Harrogate

Are you tired of dealing with a clogged bath drain in your North Yorkshire home? Hair is one of the most common causes of blocked drains, and it can be a frustrating problem to resolve. At Blocked Drains Harrogate, we understand the importance of having a functioning drainage system, and we're here to provide you with expert advice on how to unblock your bath drain.

Hair is a major contributor to blocked drains, particularly in baths and showers. When hair goes down the drain, it can accumulate and form a thick, impenetrable mat that prevents water from flowing freely. Over time, this can cause your bath drain to become clogged, leading to slow draining water, unpleasant odors, and even sewer backups.

If you're dealing with a blocked bath drain full of hair, there are a few methods you can try to clear the blockage:

1. Use a plunger: A plunger can be an effective tool for clearing hair from your bath drain. Simply place the plunger over the drain and push down slowly and steadily. Repeat this process several times to create suction and loosen the hair.
2. Use a drain snake: A drain snake, also known as an auger, is a long, flexible rod that can be inserted into your drain to break up hair and other debris. Feed the snake into the drain and rotate it as you push it further into the pipe.
3. Use baking soda and vinegar: This natural method involves pouring baking soda down the drain, followed by vinegar. The mixture will fizz and foam, helping to break down the hair and clear the blockage.
4. Use a chemical drain cleaner: If the above methods don't work, you can try using a chemical drain cleaner. However, be sure to follow the instructions carefully and take necessary safety precautions.

To prevent hair from clogging your bath drain in the future, consider the following tips:

• Use a drain screen: A drain screen can catch hair and other debris before they go down the drain.
• Regularly clean your drain: Use a drain cleaner or a natural method like baking soda and vinegar to regularly clean your drain and prevent hair from accumulating.
• Avoid pouring grease and oil down the drain: Grease and oil can solidify in your pipes and trap hair, causing blockages.
