How to unclog a drain in Wolverhampton

 Using dish soap to clean drains

When dirt and grime clog drains, there are household materials you can use to clean them. In fact, you probably have one right next to your sink! Dish soap is a gentle way to remove dirt and grime from inside the drain. By adding boiling water and pouring the soap down the drain, the grease clog slowly begins to bubble up. This will allow the stagnant water to go down and unclog the drain.

Perform a drain cleaning with baking soda

If you think there are more serious problems than dishwashing detergent can solve, baking soda and boiling water can perform a much deeper cleaning. Baking soda is a natural cleaner that, mixed with vinegar, can clean drains and make them work properly.

To clean drains with baking soda, fill a kettle with water and heat it to boiling. Add the baking soda and vinegar to the drain while the water heats up. Then cap the drain for 10 minutes. The plug will allow the baking soda and vinegar to remove the dirt and debris that cause clogs, without air causing them to solidify. Every time you pour boiling water down the drain, the clog should clear!

Check the drain overflow

Although it may not seem important, many problems can be solved by examining your fixture's overflow system. For bathtubs and sinks, there are holes drilled in certain areas to prevent massive overflows. If something clogs these holes, a clog will be much more difficult to fix without professional help. Making sure there are no blockages and cleaning the overflows regularly will reduce the possibility of a massive water leak!
