Blocked Drains York

Blocked drains can be a frustrating and messy issue for homeowners in York. Before calling a professional drainage service like Blocked Drains York, you can try a simple and eco-friendly method to unblock your drains using bicarbonate of soda (baking soda) and vinegar.

Before you start, make sure to remove any visible debris from the sink or drain. Check if there's a visible clog, such as hair or soap scum, and try to remove it. If the clog is further down the drain, proceed to the next step.

Pour 1 cup of baking soda (bicarbonate of soda) down the drain. This will help break down any tough blockages and neutralize any odors.

Pour 1 cup of white vinegar down the drain. The mixture of baking soda and vinegar will create a chemical reaction that will help dissolve any blockages.

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 blockage and break it down.

Pour a kettle of boiling water down the drain to rinse away the mixture and any remaining debris. This should help clear the blockage and get your water flowing freely again.

• To prevent clogs from forming in the future, consider using a drain aerator or filter to catch hair and other debris before they go down the drain.
• Regularly cleaning your drains with baking soda and vinegar can help maintain a clear and free-flowing drainage system.
• If you have a particularly stubborn blockage, you may need to repeat the process a few times before it's fully cleared.
