I unclog my drain pipes and sewer pipes with a garden hose run it through an open window connected to your outdoor faucet and put in the drain or sewer pipe start at a low flow and gradually increase the flow of water run it for 10 minutes or more in your drain pipes up to an hour in your sewer pipes this is a great way to prevent a major blockage from happening my father taught me this when I was a boy I have cleaned out slow drain and even some major blockages in the sewer line but that requires feeding the garden hose into the sewer line and keep going as far as you can feed it

I do this at least once a month when I'm in the shower by sitting on the floor. I have a set of those special tools and even hemostats for pulling out the long hairs that get past my tiny hole strainer. I hate the gunk buildup so use a toothbrush and cleaner to get that cleaned out and on the strainer too, it's easier than a rag or sponge.

Thank you I have an old drain from 1960 but I think it's kinda the septic tank thing
But also I was able to clear out a lot
It does have some maybe mineral or calcification on the sides but not much
Probably hasn't been cleaned in decades

So thank you! Saved on having to call a plumber!

Ive used commercial stuff like Draino- etc. tried the home made stuff like baking soda- salt, etc.. Can't get the top off-- the grout etc. from the tile is covering it partially. It drains but VERY slowly--

Mines draining fine but ugh when we bought the house last year the drain was pristine now it’s black ugh looks like this one. Not much hair but grimy mildew and icky Since I started using native the build up is insane. Gonna go home and clear it out today

I remove hair and blockage then pour in sodium hydroxide crystals. After one hour pour in a bucketful of water.

All the showers I know of have a U-tube (=siphon in French) a few inches below the grille so no need to unblock further than that.

If you drop that toothbrush you've got a new problem.

So we have a really old shower drain cover and the previous people in the apartment have destroyed the screws so we cannot open the drain and the holes are too smaller for all of the barbed brushes and debris removers I've tried. We also tried a bunch of different volume plungers and they have helped a little but the drain is still draining very slowly.

Do you have any tips about the best non-invasive or chemical cleaners to unclog blocked drains?

[juanitadunn]
