How to use gel drain unblocker

Before you start

Confirm that this method matches both the fixture and likely obstruction. Prepare for spills, protect the surrounding surface and keep the work area away from children and pets.

• Original labelled gel
• Required eye and skin protection
• Ventilation
• A measured treatment and timer

What a successful result looks like

Normal flow should return without leakage, gurgling or backup elsewhere. If the result is partial or short-lived, stop repeating the same process and investigate farther along the line.

• Normal drainage speed
• No leak at disturbed joints
• No symptom in a connected fixture
