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

What happens here

The narrator states he uses a 'toilet auger' (also known as a closet auger) to clear the shower drain. A toilet auger is specifically designed with a protective sleeve to prevent scratching porcelain and features a crank handle to extend and retract a flexible cable. While typically used for toilets, its ability to navigate P-traps makes it applicable here. Insert the coiled end of the auger cable into the drain. For a toilet, this would involve positioning the auger into the toilet bowl and feeding the cable into the trap.

Goal: Select an appropriate auger (in this case, a 'toilet auger' as specified by the narrator) and carefully insert its cable end into the drain opening, guiding it towards the trap.

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.
