HOW TO UNBLOCK A DRAIN WITHOUT SPENDING MONEY

A blocked or 'slow' outside drain can be a real pain overflowing constantly etc
Hope this wee video may be of help on how to unblock it without having to spend money calling someone in.
When you are putting the hose pipe down the drain you must ensure that it is not kinked or water will not pass through it. When packing cloth material round the hose pipe and packing the drain try to use old towels not sheets as i may have said. I have found that sheets absorb the water too easily and it it able to come up through the drain and not force through any obstruction/silt etc The towels need to packed very tightly and pushed down with your hand and foot. Finally when the tap is turned on stand on top of the towels and keep this pressure on them for a full 5 minutes. If water does not appear at your feet you have been successful and the drain had been cleared. all the best!


NB This method should NOT be used on any septic, human waste, drain or toilet. you need the professional help for that kind of waste problem.

It can be used only on drains carrying away water from tumble driers and washing machine.
