As a property owner in York, maintaining a clean and functional urinal drain is essential to prevent unpleasant odors, backups, and costly repairs. At Blocked Drains York, we understand the importance of proper drain maintenance and offer expert services to help you keep your drains flowing freely.

Urinal drains are prone to blockages due to the buildup of mineral deposits, grease, and other debris. When left unattended, these blockages can cause water to back up, leading to a messy and unhealthy situation. Regular cleaning and maintenance can help prevent these issues and ensure your urinal drain functions properly.

Before we dive into the cleaning process, it's essential to understand the common causes of blocked urinal drains:

• Grease and oil buildup
• Mineral deposits
• Hair and soap scum
• Improper flushing habits

Cleaning a urinal drain requires the right tools and techniques. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you get started:

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 break up blockages.
2. Apply 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 flush with hot water.
3. Use a drain cleaner: If the blockage persists, use a chemical drain cleaner specifically designed for urinal drains. Follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully.
4. Hot water flush: Regularly flushing the drain with hot water can help dissolve mineral deposits and grease buildup.
