What happens here

This video demonstrates the process of attempting to clear a clogged shower drain using a toilet auger. It involves removing the drain cover, inspecting for superficial clogs, inserting and operating a 'toilet auger' to push through the drain's P-trap, and then testing the drain's functionality. The video highlights the potential for pushing clogs further down the pipe rather than removing them, ultimately achieving a clear drain after a second attempt.

says it starts filling up on him whenever he showering. >> Take a screwdriver and we're going to pop the cover to this drain off. We've got some stuff on there. That was pretty funky. So, to clear a shower drain that's 2-in, I like to take my toilet auger and snake this bad boy. That just ensures you get all the way through the P trap with a bigger size cable. And check that out. Nothing came back on this. I'm really surprised. So, let's just pop this back on here. It's not clogged, but I really don't think there was too much of a change in the amount of water on the floor. We stuck a washcloth in there and the water filled up. We're just going to drain it. Oh, yeah. It's taking that like a boss. So, it's been about a week. My friend says he's not swimming in his shower anymore. We must have pushed that clog outside of the P trap and into the drain. Good to go.
