Blocked Drains Harrogate

Are you tired of dealing with a blocked shower drain in your North Yorkshire property? A clogged shower drain can be frustrating and may cause water to accumulate, leading to further problems. At Blocked Drains Harrogate, we understand the importance of a functioning drainage system, and we're here to provide you with a step-by-step guide on how to unblock your shower drain.

Before we dive into the solution, it's essential to understand the cause of the blockage. Hair, soap scum, and other debris can accumulate in the drain, causing it to become clogged. In North Yorkshire, the water table can be high, which may exacerbate the problem. If you're experiencing a blocked shower drain, it's crucial to take action quickly to avoid further damage to your property.

The first step in unblocking your shower drain is to turn off the water supply. Locate the shut-off valves and turn them clockwise to shut off the water supply to the shower. This will prevent further water from flowing into the drain and make it easier to work on the blockage.

Next, remove the drain cover to access the blockage. You may need to use a screwdriver or pliers to remove the screws or clips that hold the cover in place. Be careful not to scratch the surrounding area.

Use a plunger or drain snake to try and dislodge the blockage. A plunger can create suction to loosen the blockage, while a drain snake can be inserted into the drain to break up any debris. If the blockage is severe, you may need to use a combination of both.

If the blockage persists, try using baking soda and vinegar to create a chemical reaction that can help break down the debris. Pour 1 cup of baking soda down the drain, followed by 1 cup of vinegar. Let the mixture sit for a few hours before rinsing with hot water.

If none of the above steps work, it's time to call a professional. At Blocked Drains Harrogate, our team of experienced drain specialists can use advanced equipment, such as high-pressure water jetting and CCTV surveys, to diagnose and fix the problem.

To avoid blocked shower drains in the future, it's essential to take preventative measures. Regularly clean your shower drain with a drain cleaner or baking soda and vinegar, and avoid pouring grease and other debris down the drain.

While it's tempting to try and fix a blocked shower drain yourself, it's not always the best solution. A blocked drain can be a sign of a more significant problem, and attempting to fix it yourself can lead to further damage and costly repairs.
