Blocked Drains York

Are you tired of dealing with a clogged shower drain in your York home? Hair is one of the most common causes of shower drain blockages, and it can be a real nuisance. At Blocked Drains York, we're here to provide you with some helpful tips on how to clean hair from a shower drain.

Hair can accumulate in the shower drain and cause a clog, leading to slow draining water and even complete blockages. This can be frustrating and may require professional plumbing services to fix. However, with some simple steps, you can prevent hair from building up in your shower drain and keep your plumbing system running smoothly.

Before you try any other methods, use a plunger to try and remove the hair clog. Plungers work by creating suction on the clog, which can help to dislodge the hair and other debris. Make sure to use a plunger that is specifically designed for shower drains, as these have a smaller diameter and are more effective at removing hair.

If the plunger doesn't work, you may need to use a drain snake or auger to remove the hair clog. These tools are designed to reach deep into the pipes and break up any blockages. You can purchase a drain snake or auger at most hardware stores or home improvement centers.

For a more natural approach, try using baking soda and hot water to clean your shower drain. Pour one cup of baking soda down the drain, followed by hot water. Let the mixture sit for a few hours or overnight, then pour more hot water down the drain to rinse. This method can help to break down any hair and debris that may be causing a clog.

If the above methods don't work, you may need to use a drain cleaning product to remove the hair clog. These products are specifically designed to break down and dissolve hair and other debris that can cause blockages. Be sure to follow the instructions carefully and take any necessary safety precautions.

To keep your shower drain flowing freely, make sure to take a few simple precautions. Here are some tips to help prevent hair clogs in the future:

• Use a drain screen or filter to catch hair and other debris before they go down the drain.
• Run hot water through the drain on a regular basis to help break down any hair and debris that may be accumulating.
• Consider using a drain cleaning product on a regular basis to help keep your pipes clear.
  By following these tips, you can help to prevent hair clogs in your shower drain and keep your plumbing system running smoothly. If you do experience a clog, don't hesitate to contact Blocked Drains York for professional assistance. We're here to help you with all your drainage needs.
