Really tough clog in shower drain.?

Ive tried everything with all the draino(poured it four times in the last week) and alll that stuff, but the clog is till there. Water goes through really slowly and sometimes so slowly that most of the water floats on top of the drain. I dont kno if i should call a plumber or not.

Really tough clog in shower drain.?
drano never works. or so i have been told by several plumbers and now i am married to one. your best bet is to "snake" the drain. take the drain cover off. you can find a "snake" at lowe's or home depot.
Reply:remove the drain strainer,and clear away all the hair.
Reply:remove the strainer and get what you can out of the drain then remove the drain plug itself the 2 screws on back of tub remove that put a rag in the pipe to keep air from getting in and plunge the drain keep going and eventually what ever is in there will back out.
Reply:After trying all the above, you can purchase a device that a garden hose attaches to. It has a small opening that allows water to flow, but if restricted, swells up and seals off the drain. But as it seals off the drain, the water continues to flow out the small hole, and builds up pressure in the drain line. Eventually, something will have to give....hopefully, it is your stopped up drain. I used it and had luck with a clogged lavatory sink.... You can buy it at a homecenter in the plumbing dept. It looks like a big pickel witha hose attachment at one end, and a small diameter hole at the other.
Reply:Remove the strainer from the top of the drain, use some soft wire with a hook on the end to fish the material out of the drain trap. It may take several tries to get it all out of the drain. Most of the material is probably hair, with some soap and skin mixed in to the mess.
Reply:The advise given is some of the ways it can be done. Since no one else has mention it, let me remind you that because you used Drano in the beginning please use safety glasses and rubber glove if you decide to continue the effort on your own.





I have done apartment and condo maintenance for well over ten years, I always was appreciative when the tenants informed me of what they used before I started my job.
