This Isn’t a Shower Tool…But Watch This! #tools #diy #plumbing

What happens here

The video briefly shows a washcloth being placed in the drain and then removed, demonstrating quick drainage, implying what a clear drain should look like. The narrator then states that after about a week, the drain issue was resolved, concluding that the original clog must have been pushed out of the shower's P-trap and into a larger three-inch main drain. He then demonstrates using the auger again. This suggests that the clog eventually cleared or was successfully pushed further down, allowing for proper drainage. For a toilet, if a re-test after augering still shows a clog, a longer auger or professional intervention might be required if the clog is deeper in the main line.

Goal: After a period, re-test the drain to confirm that the clog has cleared, potentially due to the initial augering pushing the clog into a larger pipe, or by repeating the augering process if necessary.

What they say

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.
