Introduction
None of us like to have dirty bathrooms
and blocked drains in our house and prefer
cleanliness and hygiene over anything else. But
keeping up with our expectations of having clean
shower rooms is not that easy. Often it is seen
that people in the UK have complained about
clogged drains and need to look out for services
to clean the drains and save them the despair.
Although cleaning and removing the blockage from
the drains can be done through expert service
providers, we still need to know the small tricks
which can save us the harassment of dealing with
clogged drains at the first place.

What are the Causes of Drain Blockage?

• In most cases, the drain blockage occurs due to
  mishandling or improper maintenance of the
  drainage system. For example, people throw solid
  wastes in the shower or do not build a strong
  pipeline foundation when they make a drainage
  system. Also, the continuous usage of the shower
  essentials causes the clogs to double, like the
  soap scums or the skin flakes, etc.
• The hairs of both men and women still top the
  list of reasons of drain blockage as they are
  almost non-degradable and hence get stuck on the
  pipeline for a longer period. When you use a
  low-quality pipeline or do not take proper care
  and maintenance of it, the rusts also become
  responsible for preventing the water from passing
  moderately through the drain.

How we can prevent it?
The prevention of drain blockage includes not
throwing such items in the shower which later on
can create blockage problems. Also, one must
focus on easy and simple techniques to carry on
proper maintenance of the drains so that they
dont have to break their heads to find ways to
unblock a drain.
Ways to get rid of Blocked Shower Drains!

• If you are comfortable with natural cleaning
  methods then you always have the option to opt
  for it. You might need a few natural substances
  like baking soda, boiling water and vinegar for
  the purpose. First, you need to pour the baking
  soda down the blocked drain followed by double
  the amount of boiling water. And then you should
  again pour baking soda, this time accompanied by
  vinegar of almost 1-2 cups.

• Apart from the natural means, there are chemical
  means through which the clogs can be removed.
  This is considered as one of the most common
  methods of sewer cleaning as because most of the
  times the blockage occurs due to the formation of
  heavy grease on the pipeline and when you use
  such chemicals or liquids that dissolute the
  grease, it becomes easy to get rid of the
  blockage faster.

• Of late, the compressed air method has also
  become popular in and around the UK for unlocking
  the drains. The power and force that compressed
  air is comprised of have great ability to free
  the drain of the clogs that generally consists of
  hard wastes. When you know the compressed air
  through the opening of the pipe. It allows you to
  blow the accumulation of wastes to free the
  passage of water through the drain.

• Much like the power of the air, we also know
  about the force of water and so, the option to
  use jet sprays for cleaning the drains of the
  clogs is also something that is preferred by the
  drain cleaners to unblock the drains.
• When the blockage is not heavy and can be dealt
  with easily then you can use drain rods all by
  yourself to clean the garbage or solid wastes
  from the pipeline and make it free of the
  blockage.
