Blocked Drains Harrogate

Are you tired of dealing with a clogged shower drain in your North Yorkshire home? Hair is one of the most common causes of blocked drains, and it can be frustrating to deal with. At Future Drainage and Groundworks, we specialize in clearing blocked drains, including shower drains clogged with hair. In this article, we'll provide you with some tips on how to unblock your shower drain from hair.

Hair is a common culprit when it comes to clogged drains. When hair goes down the drain, it can accumulate and cause a blockage. This is especially true in showers, where hair tends to fall out more frequently. Over time, the hair can build up and cause a blockage, leading to slow draining water or even a complete blockage.

If you notice any of the following signs, it may be time to unblock your shower drain:

• Slow draining water
• Water backing up into the shower
• A foul odor coming from the drain
• Gurgling sounds coming from the drain

Fortunately, unblocking a shower drain from hair is a relatively simple process. Here are some steps you can follow:

1. Use a plunger: A plunger can be an effective tool for removing hair from a clogged drain. Simply place the plunger over the drain and push down and up several times to create suction.
2. Use baking soda and vinegar: Baking soda and vinegar can be a powerful combination for unclogging drains. Pour 1 cup of baking soda down the drain, followed by 1 cup of vinegar. Let the mixture sit for a few hours, then pour hot water down the drain to rinse.
3. Use a drain snake: A drain snake is a long, flexible rod that can be inserted into the drain to remove hair and other debris. Simply feed the snake into the drain and rotate it as you push it further into the pipe.
4. Use hot water: Hot water can help to dissolve any grease or soap scum that may be contributing to the blockage. Pour hot water down the drain to help loosen any debris.

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

• Use a drain screen: A drain screen can catch hair and other debris before it goes down the drain.
• Use a drain filter: A drain filter can be installed in your shower drain to catch hair and other debris.
• Regularly clean your drain: Regularly cleaning your drain with baking soda and vinegar can help to prevent blockages.
