Blocked Drains York

As a homeowner in York, it's essential to prioritize the maintenance of your shower drain to prevent clogs and ensure a smooth flow of water. At Blocked Drains York, we recommend regular cleaning of your shower drain to avoid the hassle and expense of dealing with a blocked drain.

Over time, hair, soap scum, and other debris can accumulate in your shower drain, causing it to become clogged. If left unchecked, this can lead to a range of problems, including:

• Slow draining water
• Backed-up water
• Unpleasant odors
• Increased risk of pipe damage

We recommend cleaning your shower drain every 1-3 months, depending on usage. If you have a large family or multiple people using the shower, you may need to clean the drain more frequently.

If you notice any of the following signs, it's likely your shower drain needs cleaning:

• Water is draining slowly
• You hear gurgling or bubbling sounds coming from the drain
• You notice a foul odor emanating from the drain
• You see visible signs of hair or debris accumulating in the drain

Cleaning your shower drain is a relatively simple process that can be done using a few basic tools. Here's a step-by-step guide:

1. Remove any visible hair or debris from the drain cover.
2. Use a drain snake or plumber's auger to clear any blockages in the drain.
3. Pour a mixture of baking soda and vinegar down the drain to help break down any remaining debris.
4. Let the mixture sit for a few hours before rinsing with hot water.
