Blocked Bath Gold Coast

After a busy day, there’s nothing more refreshing for your body and mind than taking an immersive shower using a well-functioning hot water system. It’s relaxing. But what if you find that the water continues filling up and not passing through the drain cover? This issue can affect both residential and commercial properties. If you leave the tap open, the water might overflow! Or are you experiencing a slow-draining bath or shower waste?

This can happen because of a clog in the bath drain. You can blame your blocked drain on some common causes of clogs.

Hair Stuck In Drains

This is expected. Yes, you were careful to pick some you’ve noticed left on the floor, but other strands must’ve gotten away and gone straight into your blocked drains. Through time, one strand after another became a tangle of obstruction. Consider buying a drain protector to catch hair and small objects from falling down the drain.

Soaps & Bath Bombs

These wonderful-smelling goodies melt in the water and can’t block drains, right? Well, they can. Some of their residues solidify and stick in your pipe walls, causing clogs. A slippery build-up of soap scum, dirt and grime on the bottom of the bath or shower tray could be unsightly or even dangerous.

Children’s Toys

Toys are harmless. True. But not to your drains. Don’t worry about the missing rubber duck; it’s too big for your drain hole. Unless you’ve got a larger drain, it’s on the other toys small enough to have dived deep into your pipes and joined the hair and soap residues already half-clogging your drains. And not just the kids’ toys but also other stuff tiny enough to have slipped your notice.

These must be removed to restore the water flow and address other possible causes. The severity of the situation would depend on whether the clog is total or partial. But it would be best if you never left it unattended for long. There’s a hygiene risk that goes along with dirty water.

For a simple DIY method to clear your bathtub drains, a cup of baking soda and vinegar or mix in hot water or using a drain snake or wire coat hanger may clear the accumulated build-up of hair and soap scum. Be careful using chemical drain cleaners, caustic soda, or other drain cleaning chemicals. Most chemical drain cleaners like sulphuric acid have a powerful chemical reaction that can harm your health due to their harsh ingredients. Strong chemicals can generate heat that may melt blockages or jolt the blockage loss but can cause explosions and eruptions of toxic fumes. The heat created can also damage pipes, particularly PVC pipes. It must only be applied to a dry drain, and rubber gloves must be used.

When working with a plunger, place the plunger over the hole to create suction and push the clog through the drain. Check if the water drains. But if this also won’t work, contact us, your reliable Gold Coast plumbing services team, to unblock a bath or shower drain today!
