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 clogs, and it can be a frustrating problem to deal with. At Blocked Drains York, we've seen our fair share of hair-clogged drains, and we're here to provide you with some tips on how to clean hair out of your shower drain.

Hair is a major contributor to clogged drains, especially in the shower. When hair goes down the drain, it can accumulate and form a sticky, impenetrable mass that prevents water from flowing freely. Over time, this can cause the water to back up, leading to a messy and potentially damaging situation.

Fortunately, removing hair from shower drains is a relatively simple process that can be done with a few basic tools. Here's a step-by-step guide:

1. Use a drain snake: A drain snake, also known as an auger, is a long, flexible rod that can be inserted into the drain to remove clogs. Feed the snake into the drain and rotate it as you push it further into the pipe. This should help to break up any hair clogs and allow water to flow freely.
2. Try baking soda and vinegar: For a more natural approach, try using baking soda and vinegar to clean your shower drain. Pour 1 cup of baking soda down the drain, followed by 1 cup of vinegar. Let the mixture sit for a few hours, then pour hot water down the drain to rinse.
3. Use a drain cleaning product: If the above methods don't work, you can try using a drain cleaning product. These products typically contain enzymes that break down hair and other organic matter, allowing water to flow freely.

To prevent hair clogs from forming in the future, try the following:

• Use a drain screen: A drain screen can catch hair and other debris before they go down the drain, preventing clogs from forming.
• Clean your drain regularly: Regular cleaning can help to prevent hair and other debris from accumulating in your drain.
• Be mindful of what you put down the drain: Avoid putting hair, soap, and other debris down the drain, as these can contribute to clogs.
