Common Causes of Drain Blockages

Blocked drains in Cumbria can be caused by a variety of factors. Here are a few of the most common ones we see:

• Hair buildup in shower drains
• Soap scum accumulation
• Heavy rain causing on-ground blockages
• Grease buildup in kitchen sinks
• Foreign objects accidentally flushed down toilets

Steps to Unblock Bathroom Drain

Unblocking bathroom drains in Cumbria can be done in several ways. Here are some methods you can try:

Using Rubber Gloves or a Snake

If the blockage is near the surface of the drain, you can often remove it by using rubber gloves or a snake. To do this, put on a pair of rubber gloves and remove the cover of your shower drain. Then, use your fingers or a snake to remove any hair, soap scum, or other debris that is causing the blockage.

Using Baking Soda and Vinegar

Another method you can try is using a mixture of baking soda and vinegar. To do this, pour a cup of baking soda down the drain, followed by a cup of vinegar. Let the mixture sit for 15-20 minutes, then pour hot water down the drain to flush the blockage away. This method works best for mild blockages, but it may not be effective for more severe ones.

Using Maximum Strength Drain Cleaner

For more severe blockages, you may need to use a maximum strength drain cleaner. However, it's important to use this method with caution, as drain cleaner can be harmful to your pipes and the environment. Be sure to follow the instructions on the bottle carefully and wear protective gloves and eyewear when handling the cleaner.

Using a Plunger or Suction Cup

If the blockage is in your shower drain, you can often remove it by using a plunger or suction cup. To do this, first remove any visible debris from the surface of the drain. Then, place the plunger or suction cup over the drain and pump it up and down vigorously to create suction. This will help to dislodge the blockage and allow water to flow freely down the drain.

Prevention Tips

Preventing blockages in your bathroom drains is key to avoiding the need for unblocking services. Here are a few tips to help you keep your drains clear:

• Use drain strainers to catch hair and debris before they go down the drain
• Clean your drains regularly to remove any buildup of soap scum or other debris
• Avoid pouring grease or oil down your drains
• Be careful what you flush down the toilet - only flush toilet paper and human waste
