Blocked Drains York

Are you experiencing a blocked bath drain in York? Don't worry, it's a common problem that can be resolved with the right techniques and tools. At Blocked Drains York, we're here to help you with expert advice and professional services.

Before we dive into the solution, it's essential to understand what causes a bath drain to become blocked. Hair, soap scum, and other debris can accumulate in the drain pipes, causing a blockage that prevents water from draining properly. In some cases, the stopper or lever may be faulty, or the pipes may be clogged with mineral deposits.

To start, you'll need to remove the stopper or lever that covers the drain. This will give you access to the drain pipe. If you have a push-and-pull stopper, simply lift it out. If you have a lever, you may need to unscrew it or use a tool to release it.

Once you have access to the drain pipe, use a drain snake or plunger to try and dislodge the blockage. Feed the snake into the pipe and rotate it as you push it further into the pipe. If you're using a plunger, create a seal over the drain and push down and pull up to create suction.

If the blockage persists, try using a natural solution like baking soda and vinegar. Pour 1 cup of baking soda down the drain, followed by 1 cup of vinegar. Let the mixture sit for a few hours or overnight, then pour hot water down the drain to rinse.

If the above methods don't work, you may need to use a drain cleaning pod. These pods contain enzymes that break down organic matter and help to clear blockages. Follow the instructions on the packaging and pour the pod down the drain.

If none of the above methods work, it's time to call a professional drainage company like Blocked Drains York.
