Blocked Drains York

Are you tired of dealing with clogged shower drains in your York home? Hair is one of the most common culprits behind blocked drains, and it can be frustrating to deal with. At Blocked Drains York, we understand the importance of maintaining a free-flowing drainage system. In this article, we will provide you with a step-by-step guide on how to clean hair from your shower drain.

Hair can accumulate in your shower drain over time, causing clogs and blockages. When hair combines with soap scum, shampoo, and other debris, it can create a stubborn clog that can be difficult to remove. If left unattended, this clog can cause water to back up into your shower, leading to a messy and unpleasant situation.

One of the most effective and eco-friendly methods to clean hair from your shower drain is by using baking soda and vinegar. Here's how:

1. Pour 1 cup of baking soda down the drain.
2. Follow with 1 cup of vinegar.
3. Let the mixture sit for a few hours or overnight.
4. Pour hot water down the drain to rinse.
   The baking soda and vinegar will help break down the hair and other debris, making it easier to remove.

If the baking soda and vinegar method doesn't work, you may need to use a drain snake or auger to remove the clog. A drain snake is a long, flexible rod that can be inserted into the drain to break up the clog. An auger is a more heavy-duty tool that can be used to remove stubborn clogs.

1. Insert the drain snake or auger into the drain.
2. Rotate the tool as you push it further into the drain.
3. Remove the tool and rinse the drain with hot water.

If the above methods don't work, you may need to use a drain jetting machine to remove the clog. Drain jetting involves using high-pressure water to blast away the clog.

1. Call a professional drainage company like Blocked Drains York to perform the drain jetting.
2. Our team will use a drain jetting machine to blast away the clog.
3. We will then inspect the drain to ensure it is clear.

To prevent hair clogs in the future, consider the following tips:

• Use a drain screen or filter to catch hair before it goes down the drain.
• Run hot water through the drain on a regular basis to help clear any debris.
• Consider using a drain maintenance product to help break down hair and other debris.
