Blocked Drains York

Are you tired of dealing with a clogged shower drain in your York home? Hair is one of the most common causes of blocked drains, and it can be frustrating to deal with. At Blocked Drains York, we've put together a simple guide on how to unblock a shower drain with hair.

Before we dive into the solution, it's essential to understand why hair causes clogs in shower drains. When hair goes down the drain, it can accumulate and stick to the sides of the pipe, eventually forming a clog. This can lead to slow draining water, unpleasant odors, and even backups.

A drain snake, also known as an auger, is a long, flexible rod that can be inserted into the drain to remove clogs. Here's how to use it:

1. Remove any visible hair from the drain cover.
2. Feed the snake into the drain and rotate it as you push it further into the pipe.
3. When you feel resistance, it means you've reached the clog.
4. Hold the snake in place and twist it to break up the hair.
5. Remove the snake and check if the water drains freely.

This method is a natural and non-invasive way to clear a clogged shower drain.

1. Pour 1 cup of baking soda down the drain.
2. Follow with 1 cup of vinegar.
3. Let the mixture sit for 30 minutes to an hour.
4. Pour hot water down the drain to rinse.
5. Check if the water drains freely.

A drain hook is a long, thin tool that can be used to remove hair and other debris from the drain.

1. Insert the hook into the drain and rotate it to catch any hair or debris.
2. Pull out the hook and remove any hair or debris.
3. Repeat the process until the water drains freely.

• To prevent hair clogs in the future, consider using a drain screen or filter to catch hair before it goes down the drain.
• Run hot water through the drain regularly to help clear any debris.
• Avoid using harsh chemical products to clear clogs, as they can damage your pipes.
