Reassemble and Initial Drain Test

What happens here

Carefully place the cleaned drain cover back into its position over the drain opening. For a toilet, this step would involve flushing the toilet to check for proper drainage. In the video, the shower is turned on to test the drain. Initially, the drain still appears slow, with water pooling around the cover. The narrator comments that 'it's not unclogged,' and there wasn't much change, indicating the initial auger attempt was not fully successful in restoring optimal drainage.

Goal: After using the auger, replace the drain cover and run water to test if the clog has been successfully cleared. Observe the drainage rate.
