Blocked Drains Harrogate

Is your shower drain pipe clogged, causing water to back up and making a mess? Don't worry, we've got you covered. At Future Drainage and Groundworks, trading as Blocked Drains Harrogate, we're here to provide you with expert advice on how to unblock your shower drain pipe in North Yorkshire.

A blocked shower drain pipe can be caused by a variety of factors, including:

• Hair and soap scum buildup
• Grease and oil accumulation
• Mineral deposits and limescale
• Foreign objects, such as toys or jewelry, being flushed down the drain

If you notice any of the following signs, it's likely that your shower drain pipe is blocked:

• Water backing up into the shower or bathtub
• Slow draining or gurgling sounds
• Unpleasant odors or smells
• Water pooling around the drain

Before calling a professional drainage service, you can try the following DIY methods to unblock your shower drain pipe:

1. Use a plunger: Create suction by placing the plunger over the drain and pushing down. This can help dislodge any blockages.
2. Use a drain snake: Feed the snake into the drain and rotate it to break up any blockages.
3. Use baking soda and vinegar: Pour equal parts baking soda and vinegar down the drain, followed by hot water. Let it sit for a few hours before rinsing.
4. Use high-pressure water jetting: If the blockage is further down the drain, you may need to use a high-pressure water jet to clear it.

If none of the above methods work, or if you're not comfortable attempting to unblock the drain yourself, it's time to call a professional drainage service. At Future Drainage and Groundworks, our team of experienced drain specialists can use advanced equipment, such as CCTV cameras and high-pressure water jetting, to diagnose and clear the blockage.

In North Yorkshire, it's the property owner's responsibility to maintain and clear their drains. However, if the blockage is caused by a problem with the sewer system, it may be the responsibility of the local water authority.

To prevent future blockages, it's essential to:

• Regularly clean your drains with a drain cleaner or baking soda and vinegar
• Avoid pouring grease, oil, and food waste down the drain
• Install a drain guard or filter to catch hair and other debris
• Consider having your drains inspected and cleaned annually by a professional drainage service
