Blocked Drains York

Are you experiencing a clogged drain in your home or business in York? Before calling a professional drainage service like Blocked Drains York, you can try a simple and eco-friendly method to unblock your drain using bicarb soda. This method is effective, non-toxic, and cost-efficient.

• 1 cup of bicarb soda (baking soda)
• 1 cup of boiling water
• 1 cup of white vinegar
• A sink or drain with a clog

1. Pour Bicarb Soda Down the Drain: Pour 1 cup of bicarb soda down the clogged drain. Make sure to pour it slowly and carefully to avoid spilling any of the powder.
2. Add Boiling Water: Pour 1 cup of boiling water down the drain to help the bicarb soda dissolve and penetrate the clog.
3. Let it Sit: Allow the mixture to sit in the drain for 30 minutes to an hour. This will give the bicarb soda time to break down the clog and loosen any debris.
4. Add Vinegar: Pour 1 cup of white vinegar down the drain. The acid in the vinegar will react with the bicarb soda to create a fizzing action that will help break down the clog.
5. Let it Fizz: Allow the mixture to fizz and bubble for 30 minutes to an hour. This will help loosen and break down the clog.
6. Hot Water Rinse: Pour hot water down the drain to rinse away any remaining debris and bicarb soda.

• Avoid Using Harsh Chemicals: Before attempting to unblock your drain with bicarb soda, avoid using harsh chemicals or cleaning products that can damage your pipes or harm your skin.
• Check for Soap Scum: If you have a sink drain clog, check for soap scum buildup. Soap scum can cause clogs and make it difficult to unblock your drain.
• Regular Cleaning: Regular cleaning and maintenance can help prevent clogs and keep your drains flowing freely.

• Severe Clogs: If you have a severe clog that cannot be cleared with bicarb soda, it's best to call a professional drainage service like Blocked Drains York.
• Recurring Clogs: If you experience recurring clogs, it may be a sign of a more serious issue with your drainage system. Contact a professional to diagnose and fix the problem.
