Common Causes of Blocked Shower Drains
Blocked shower drains are typically caused by the accumulation of hair, soap scum, and mineral deposits from hard water. Over time, these substances build up inside the drain, restricting water flow and leading to blockages. Additionally, small objects like shampoo caps or debris can inadvertently enter the drain and cause clogs. Understanding these common causes can help homeowners take preventive measures to maintain clear and efficient shower drainage.
Preventing Shower Drain Blockages
Preventing shower drain blockages involves regular maintenance and adopting good habits. Installing a drain cover or hair catcher can significantly reduce the amount of hair entering the drain. Regularly cleaning the drain cover and using a mixture of baking soda and vinegar can help dissolve soap scum and mineral deposits. Additionally, avoiding the disposal of small objects down the drain can prevent blockages. By following these preventive measures, homeowners can keep their shower drains clear and functional.
Shower Drain Unblocking
Persistent shower drain blockages or recurring issues despite using DIY methods indicate the need for professional help. Professional plumbers have the tools and expertise to diagnose and resolve more complex problems, such as deep-seated blockages, damaged pipes, or issues with the main sewer line.
By calling Amalgamated Services, homeowners can ensure a thorough and effective resolution, preventing further damage and costly repairs. In cases of severe blockages, slow drainage, or unpleasant odours, contact us today!
