Blocked Drains York

Are you experiencing a blocked drain in your York home or business? Don't worry, we've got you covered. At Blocked Drains York, we understand the frustration and inconvenience caused by a clogged drain. In this article, we'll guide you through the steps to unblock a drain without a plunger.

Before attempting to unblock your drain, it's essential to identify the source of the blockage. Check if the problem is with your sink, toilet, or shower drain. If the issue is with your sink, try to determine if the blockage is in the sink drain or further down the drainage system.

A drain rod, also known as an auger, is a long, flexible rod that can be inserted into the drain to break up blockages. Feed the rod into the drain and rotate it as you push it further into the pipe. This should help to dislodge any blockages. You can purchase a drain rod at most hardware stores in York or online in the UK.

For a more environmentally friendly approach, try using baking soda and vinegar to unblock your drain. 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, allowing it to break down any blockages. Then, pour hot water down the drain to rinse it.

If the above methods don't work, you may need to use a drain jet to unblock your drain. A drain jet uses high-pressure water to blast away blockages. You can hire a drain jet or purchase one online. However, be careful when using a drain jet, as it can cause damage to your pipes if not used correctly.
