Shower Drain

There is nothing that will ruin a shower quicker, and put an end to your happy singing in the shower fest, than a clogged shower drain. If the shower drain is operating properly, it should be able to remove the water as quickly as it flows from the shower head. If it seems to be running a little behind the flow, it is easy to ignore.

The most common culprit in a clogged shower drain is hair. Since it is almost impossible to dissolve a hair clog, the best solution is to remove it. If the plunger fails to clear the drain, the next step is a snake. A snake is a tightly wound piece of spring steel with an auger tip on one end and a crank handle on the other. Insert the coil until you reach the clog. Then turn the handle, moving the auger tip back and forth until you have snagged the clog and can pull it up from inside the drain. If the snake fails, it is time to call a professional drain cleaning contractor.
