Blocked Drains York

Are you tired of dealing with a slow-draining bath or shower in your York home? Hair is a common culprit behind clogged drains, and it can be frustrating 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 unblock your bath drain.

Hair is a major contributor to drain blockages, especially in baths and showers. When hair goes down the drain, it can accumulate and combine with other debris, such as soap scum and grease, to form a stubborn blockage. Over time, this blockage can cause water to back up into your bath or shower, leading to a messy and frustrating situation.

If you notice any of the following signs, it may be time to take action:

• Water draining slowly from your bath or shower
• Water backing up into your bath or shower
• Gurgling or bubbling sounds coming from your drain
• A foul odor emanating from your drain

Before calling a professional drainage company like Blocked Drains York, you can try the following methods to unblock your bath drain:

1. Use a plunger: A plunger can be an effective tool for removing hair and other debris from your drain. Make sure to use a plunger specifically designed for bath drains, and be sure to create a good seal around the drain.
2. Use baking soda and vinegar: Pour 1 cup of baking soda down your 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.
3. Use a drain snake: A drain snake, also known as an auger, can be used to remove hair and other debris from your drain. Feed the snake into your drain and rotate it as you push it further into the pipe.
4. Use soda crystals: Soda crystals can be used to dissolve grease and other debris that may be contributing to your blockage. Pour 1 cup of soda crystals down your drain, followed by hot water.

To prevent hair-clogged drains in the future, consider the following:

• Use a drain screen or filter to catch hair and other debris before they go down the drain.
• Run hot water through your drain on a regular basis to help dissolve grease and other debris.
• Consider using a drain maintenance product, such as a drain cleaner or degreaser, to help keep your drains flowing freely.
