Using a Drain Snake

A drain snake is another tool that we use to clear blocked baths at Drainage Cumbria. This is a flexible metal tool that allows us to reach deep into the bathtub drain to remove blockages. Drain snakes are effective in removing hair, soap scum, and other debris that may be causing the blockage.

To use a drain snake, we will first need to remove the bathtub drain stopper. We will then insert the snake into the drain, twisting and pushing it until we reach the blockage. Using the snake, we will then break up and remove the debris causing the blockage.

Step-by-Step Process to Unblocking Your Bath

1. Call Drainage Cumbria on 01228 734162 or book our services online via drainagecumbria.uk.

2. Our team will quickly assess the situation and recommend the most viable solution.

3. If using a plunger, we will remove the stopper from the drain and fill the bathtub with sufficient water to cover the rubber head of the plunger.

4. We will place the plunger over the drain hole, ensuring that there is a tight seal around the edges.

5. We will push and pull the plunger gently, using consistent pressure to create suction and dislodge the blockage.

6. If using chemicals, we will use eco-friendly and safe chemicals that we supply and provide expert guidance to ensure their safe usage.

7. We will let the chemicals work for a specific period before flushing the drain with hot water.

8. If using a drain snake, we will remove the bathtub drain stopper and insert the snake into the drain.

9. We will twist and push the snake until we reach the blockage, then use it to break up and remove the debris causing the blockage.

10. Finally, we will test the bathtub to ensure that it drains efficiently and that there are no further blockages.
