    Drain Unblocking In Weston-super-Mare: 15-Minute Drain Unblocking Easy-To-Follow Tips

    n

    You can remove blockages inside drain pipes within 15 minutes if you use the right cleaners. Many proprietary drain cleaners are available from supermarkets or D.I.Y. stores which use reactive chemicals to dissolve the blockage, but these chemicals are caustic and can damage both your skin and the drainage pipes themselves.

    nn

    You should take care to select the right product for the drainage system to prevent additional damage from occurring.

    n

    Alternatively, you can use home remedies to remove blockages which we will now review.

    Blocked Drain in Weston-super-Mare

    Unblock Your Drainage System With Home Remedies, in Weston-super-Mare

    1. Use a Plunger

    n

    Although we often think of it as being an old-fashioned method, it is very effective and convenient, as most homeowners keep a plunger in the bathroom, or if not, they can be found at any D.I.Y. store and sometimes at larger supermarkets.

    nn

    To use a plunger:

      n

    • First, make sure you have a cup-shaped plunger. You can choose between a handheld plunger and a full-length plunger.
    • n

    • Before you begin the cleaning process, remove the metal strainer from the kitchen sink or in the bathroom. Pull up the stopper so you can make a strong seal with the plunger. You may also want to add petroleum jelly around the edge of the suction pad to give a better seal.
    • n

    • To remove the clog, pump the plunger using sharp, fast movements. Check regularly to see if the process is working.
    • n

    To plunge properly, you can use the following steps:

      n

    • Cover the drain completely with the suction cup.
    • n

    • For 30 seconds, use a pumping action to press and pull the plunger in quick succession.
    • n

    • If the water drains away slowly, then add some more water to the drain and continue to plunge.
    • n

    If the water drains at a faster rate, then you are doing the plunging correctly.

    nn

    2. Boiling Water

    n

    Showers and kitchen sink often get blocked with soap scum and this is easily removed by pouring boiling water into the drain to flush away the debris.

    nn

    Boiling water is effective in removing blockages caused by natural organic products, but will not remove man-made fibers, feminine hygiene products, hair, or plastic items. For these, you will need to use a reactive solution.

    nn

    If you pour boiling water down your drain regularly, you will avoid problems with your drainage system in the future, and make the drainage system smooth and free from blockages.

    n

    It is very simple to do with just a few guidelines:

      n

    • If you have PVC pipes, do not use boiling water. This is because boiling water can loosen the joints. Because of the extreme heat, pipes can get damaged and more problems can occur over and above the original blockage.
    • n

    • Make sure not to pour boiling water into a porcelain sink bowl, as boiling water may cause cracks and you will then have to repair the cracks or buy a new bowl.
    • n

    • It is better to pour boiling water directly into the drain using a kettle, funnel, or jug. This will help you be more accurate and avoid any additional damage.
    • n

    3. Baking Soda + Vinegar

    n

    Good drainage is essential in the home to prevent flooding, damage, or unpleasant smells and it is, therefore, important to remove any blockages as soon as possible.

    nn

    There are different ways available to remove a clogged drain, but one easy home remedy is by using a mixture of baking soda and white vinegar. This combination is highly reactive and very effective in dislodging grime, grease, and other small debris, and is as effective as other proprietary chemicals, and will even clear drains that have been blocked for some time.

    nn

    To use this mixture, first, take 1 cup of baking soda and pour it directly into the drain. Wait for a while to allow the baking soda to absorb the grime. Then pour one cup of vinegar into the drain. You will see it ‌fizz as the chemical reaction happens.

    nn

    Wait for 20 minutes for the mixture to work, then afterward pour boiling water into the drain to flush away the solution and allow the water to flow smoothly.

    n

    Be careful handling the solution, as it is mildly corrosive and may irritate your skin, so wear protective gloves.

    nn

    Also, do not dilute the baking soda as this will reduce the reaction

    n

    You can use a jug or kettle to pour the ingredients into the drain.

    n

    4. Pro Tips and Tricks

    n

    If the above methods do not clear a drain blockage, then you can use the following tricks:

      n

    • Dawn – If you do not have vinegar or baking soda in the home, then you can use Dawn dish soap to remove the clog. To achieve a better water flow, pour one cup of Dawn soap into the drain. Wait for 15 minutes until the Dawn does its work, then pour on boiling water and see the magic.
    • n

    • Borax – Take 2 cups of boiling water and add ½ cup of borax to it. Pour this mixture directly into the clogged drain. Wait for 15 minutes and then run the freshwater to make the water flow smoothly.
    • n

    • Alka Seltzer – You can easily buy Alka Seltzer tablets at the local supermarket. Drop a tablet into the drain and after 5 minutes pour on one cup of white vinegar. Now wait for 10 minutes and flush the drain with boiling water. With the help of Alka Seltzer, you can remove all the blockage.
