Is your shower drain clogged with hair in York? Don't worry, we've got you covered. At Blocked Drains York, we understand the frustration of dealing with a blocked shower drain. In this article, we'll walk you through a simple, DIY-friendly process to clear the clog and get your shower flowing smoothly again.

Hair is a common culprit when it comes to clogged shower drains. When hair accumulates in the drain, it can cause water to back up, leading to a messy and frustrating situation. To clear the clog, you'll need to remove the hair and any other debris that's causing the blockage.

Before you start, make sure you have the following tools:

• A cup or bucket to catch water
• A pair of gloves to protect your hands
• A drain snake (also known as an auger)
• Baking soda and vinegar (optional)

Pour a cup of hot water down the drain to help loosen the clog. Let it sit for a few minutes to allow the water to penetrate the blockage.

Insert the drain snake into the drain and feed it into the pipe until you feel resistance. This is usually where the clog is located. Turn the handle of the snake to break up the clog and remove any hair or debris.

If the clog is particularly stubborn, you can try using baking soda and vinegar to help dissolve the blockage. 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.

After using the drain snake and/or baking soda and vinegar, check the drain to see if the water is flowing freely. If the clog is still present, you may need to repeat the process a few times until the drain is clear.

To prevent hair from clogging your shower drain in the future, consider using a drain screen or filter to catch hair and other debris before they go down the drain. You can also try using a drain maintenance product to help keep your drains flowing smoothly.
