Willie, who lives in a century old cottage, called me and stated that the shower had overflowed and that several inches of sewage glop had come out of the shower drain.
This post shows the seven steps to clean out a shower drain.
Step 1: The shower drain had a ring of sewage around it. Upper right fig.1 shows the plan was to put in half the bottle of Hair and Grease Drain Opener into the shower drain. Read the direction on the bottle if unsure how to use this product.
Step 2: Fig.2 shows the drain. This post and all of my posts are concerned with safety, so protect yourself and your family. Purchase chemical gloves, safety glasses, and the Hair and Grease Drain Opener before working on the shower drain. Even if you wear glasses, put the safety glasses over your glasses, it's a precaution that could save your eyesight. It's worth the time to be safe rather than swift.
Step 3: Fig.3 shows the acid is being poured out of the bottle directly into the drain.
Step 4: Fig.4 shows the drain after the shower was flushed with cold water. In this post cold water was used because the client had only a 10-gallon water heater.
Step 5: Put the Hair and Grease Drain Opener container back into the plastic bag it came in and store it in a safe place while keeping the container upright.
