Begin by accessing the drain opening. For strainer-type covers, carefully unscrew the center screw using a screwdriver. If you see hair or debris, remove it with your hands or pliers. For other cover types, consult your drain's instructions or a relevant YouTube video for removal.

To clear a clogged shower drain with standing water, first remove the drain cover using a screwdriver. Then, attempt to dislodge the clog by plunging the drain with a cup plunger. If plunging is unsuccessful, use a drain snake to break up or retrieve the clog. Finally, flush the drain with water to confirm that the clog has been cleared.
