Blocked Drains York

Are you experiencing a clogged 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 vinegar and baking soda. This method is a cost-effective and non-toxic way to clear clogs and maintain your pipes.

Vinegar and baking soda react to form carbon dioxide gas, which creates pressure that can help dislodge blockages in your drain. This method is particularly effective for clearing grease, hair, and soap scum clogs.

1. Pour Boiling Water: Start by pouring a kettle of boiling water down the drain to help loosen any debris.
2. Mix Baking Soda and Vinegar: In a cup, mix 1/2 cup of baking soda with 1 cup of vinegar. The mixture will start to fizz and bubble.
3. Pour the Mixture: Pour the baking soda and vinegar mixture down the drain.
4. Let it Sit: Allow the mixture to sit in the drain for 2-3 hours or overnight. This will give the mixture time to work its way through the pipes and break down any clogs.
5. Hot Water Rinse: After the mixture has sat for the desired amount of time, pour another kettle of boiling water down the drain to rinse away any remaining debris.

• Make sure to use a cup of vinegar and 1/2 cup of baking soda, as using too much baking soda can create a clog in itself.
• If you have a severe clog, you may need to repeat the process a few times before the drain is fully cleared.
• If you have old or corroded pipes, you may want to avoid using this method, as the acidity in the vinegar could damage the pipes.
• If you're unsure about the severity of your clog or the type of pipes you have, it's always best to consult a professional drainage service like Blocked Drains York.
