How to clear a blocked or slow running shower waste

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

When the water in your shower starts to come up to your ankles, you know it is time to clear the waste.
If you would like a pressure gun buy one here using my website link. This one is £30.00 but better quality.

    Another great video explaining how to clean your shower trap and waste. This really is an essential routine job to keep your water flowing smoothly and your shower tray empty. If you do won’t to clean the pipe run after you can pour some of the foaming drain cleaner available from most stores down the pipe and flush an hour later with hot water. Thanks for a great video tutorial.

    You must explain to Mo that she mustn't use the shower without supervision because her eyebrows keeps falling out and blocking the plughole -- the promise of a marrow-filled bone or the threat of abandonment will be all that's needed; she will even supply her own soap after that!

    @@dereton33 is fitting it quite straightforward? I've only realised these parts are missing because we're getting slugs entering through the drain pipe and have the dreaded sewer gas smell. Plus when it rains you can hear the vibrations through the pipe. The wetroom was fitted by the council for my disabled mother and it seems like they were a bunch of cowboys.

Your observations/response/comments would be greatly appreciated. Cat litter down the potty. Note of caution. 18+ only... contains rude(ish!) words and images that may offend.
