Blocked Drains York

Are you experiencing a blocked drain in your York home or business? Before calling a professional drainage service like Blocked Drains York, you can try a simple and eco-friendly method to unblock your drain using bicarbonate of soda. This natural remedy is a great alternative to harsh chemicals and can be found in most kitchens.

Bicarbonate of soda, also known as baking soda, is a natural abrasive that can help break down blockages in your drain. When combined with hot water and vinegar, it creates a chemical reaction that can help dissolve and clear the blockage.

1. Pour 1 cup of bicarbonate of soda down the blocked drain. Make sure to pour it slowly to avoid creating a mess.
2. Follow with 2 cups of hot water. The hot water will help the bicarbonate of soda dissolve and penetrate the blockage.
3. Let it sit for a few hours or overnight. This will allow the bicarbonate of soda to work its magic and break down the blockage.
4. Pour 1 cup of vinegar down the drain. The acid in the vinegar will react with the bicarbonate of soda to create a fizzing action that can help dislodge the blockage.
5. Let it sit for another hour. The mixture will continue to work on the blockage, and you may start to see the water draining freely.
6. Check the drain. If the water is still not draining, you may need to repeat the process or use a plumbing snake to remove the blockage.

• Use a sink plunger to help dislodge the blockage after using the bicarbonate of soda and vinegar method.
• Avoid using this method if you have a severe blockage or if you're unsure of the cause of the blockage. In such cases, it's best to call a professional drainage service like Blocked Drains York.
• Don't pour grease or fat down your drain, as this can cause blockages and make the problem worse.
