How to Unclog a Bathroom Drain

Bathroom drains take a lot of punishment. Every member of the family uses the sink, the shower and the bath every day. It’s no wonder, then, that these overused waste water outlets can become blocked. If you find your sink overflowing or your bath refusing to drain, check out the tips below on how to unclog a bathroom drain.

Preventing it….

Place a sieve fitting over each drain opening to prevent hair travelling into the drain pipes.

Prevent grease and soap scum build-up by tipping a little bleach or other soap-dissolving agent into the drains every couple of months.

Unclogging it….

Plunger Method: One of the simplest ways to clear a clogged bathroom drain is to use a plunger. Just place the rubber cap of the plunger over the drain opening, ensuring that the opening is entirely covered, and dispense a number of sharp downward thrusts.

Chemical Method: If you can’t access your plunger, chemical drain cleaners like caustic soda work by eating away at the blockage. Care should be taken with their use as they can blind and burn skin. If correctly used, though, these products are extremely effective, particularly for blockages deeper in the drain.
