Hello,

In the month that I've lived in my flat, I've had persistent problems with a blocked shower drain.

I initially used Mr Muscle Drain Unblocker which worked for a few days (probably 30 minutes of shower time). The slow drainage returned and I unblocked again with the same product. On both occasions, I left the unblocker overnight.

A few days later it returned and it used the Domestos version and left it overnight. This had no effect. Drainage was still very very slow.

The other day I bought a cannister of PowerPlumber which worked for a while but the problem soon returned.

Can anyone suggest anything to help? What could the problem be?

Hi

IHave you had a chance to have a look at the DIY Projects area: https://www.diydoctor.org.uk/projects/Un ... drains.htm There is a project covering "Unblocking Toilets, Sinks, Drains etc...." that you may find useful!!

I would advise you firstly to stop using that cráp whilst you still have some pipe left (especially if your wastes are plastic)

Are you sure its a blockage and not the fall of the pipe is incorrect?
