How to Unplug A Shower Drain If You Have No Auger
Shower drain easily become clogged with a combination of hair, soap scum and whatever else sloughs off human bodies into the drain.
Do it yourself or with a friend. A neighbor and I recently unplugged his shower by this method as no auger was immediately available. It can be done by one, but a team of two ensures quicker success.
Remove the strainer over the drain. This is usually held in place with two screws. If there are none, use a pair of pliers, preferably long nosed ones. Catch the holes in the drain and lift it aside.
Fill your shower with a couple of inches of water. Now using a good plunger, plunge vigorously. This may work. It didn't work for us, so we moved on to step four.
Get your garden hose and jam in into the drain as far as easily possible. Wad up a small towel and hold tightly around the hole and against the drain opening. Your helper should now quickly turn on the hose with full force. He/she can turn it on and off several times and hopefully the clog will move on down the line.
Clean up and you are finished. I hope this works for you. If not, you may have to borrow, rent, or buy an auger. You will need a drain auger. You will need to push the auger into the drain until it can reach and catch the clog. You can then pull it out, whole or in parts.
Every once in a while you find yourself having to clean the bath tub drain because the water will no longer go down. You certainly don't look forward to it, but you know that if you don't unclog it, your next shower might feel more like a wading pool. Here are some tips on how to clean the bath tub drain:
First unscrew the drain cover to see what is lurking beneath. Most often the culprit of the clog in the bath tub drain is hair that's wrapped around the metal piece spanning the width of the drain.
Use the tweezers to pull out the hair that is stuck on the metal piece in bath tub drain. It might take some time to pull it out, and it WILL be slimy, but get as much of the hair out as possible.
Put on latex gloves and pull out any remaining hair that you cannot get out of the bath tub drain with the tweezers.
Still wearing the latex gloves, use your fingers to scrape the sides of the drain to loosen any mold or slime that is deposited onto the side wall of the bath tub drain.
Use the comet to clean the bath tub drain (as far as you can reach) and also clean the outside of the drain while you're there. Rinse the drain thoroughly with hot water.
Pour 1/5 bottle of the Drano Max Gel down the drain. For tougher clogs, pour 1/2 bottle. Let the Drano sit for 15 minutes (30 minutes for tough clogs), then flush it with hot water. Repeat this step if the bath tub drain is still clogged.
