How do I fix the slow drain of the shower?
There are several methods of opening the slow shower outflow, from the use of the piston to the pouring of chemical cleaners to the outflow. Another alternative to release the slow shower outflow is to start a plumber snake tool after draining in an attempt to remove clogging. Regardless of the method you choose to open a slow shower drain, you should follow the action by lowering a lot of hot water after the outflow to make sure the clogging is completely removed. Hair can usually be removed by placing the rubber piston over the drain and providing several pumps or up and down and down the movements of the piston handle. You can usually pull your hair out of the outflow after the piston sucks it up and out of the drain pipe. You may want to use rubber gloves, because rotting hair can be very slimy and smelly when it comes out of the drain pipe. You may need to repeat this step several times until no remnants come from the outflow.
Sometimes you can remove the drain cover from the shower floor with a screwdriver and simply get into the drain using the tweezers to remove hair clogging. This often liberates the slow drain of the shower, but clogging can be too far to achieve. A liquid cleaner or opener can often be used to remove clogging, releasing a slow drain of the shower within minutes. This can be achieved with stagnant water in the shower floor, but it is best done without water in the shower. Sometimes the combination of chemical outflow and plumber tools will best work to remove clogging.
For a heavily clogged shower outflow, you may need to access the drain pipe from under the shower and remove the S-Trap. This is usually done with the hands on the plastic drain and conventional hand tools on other types of systems. You can place the bucket under the with trap to capture the water that breaks out of the shower after removing the trap. Once the trap is removed, it may be the usualCage pulled any type of clogging.
