Hello everyone,

More and more people are trying to unclog their sewers and drains themselves and we want to help you with your sewer and drain DIY. A shower stall can get clogged with hair and soap build up. It doesn’t matter what floor the shower stall is on, it can get clogged. A shower stall is much easier to unclog than a bathtub or a sink. Most shower stalls have a cover with 2 screws on them. All you have to do is to unscrew the cover and see if there are any hair hanging off the cover. If you see hair sticking to the cover, more than likely your problem is right there. Clean the shower drain cover with hot water, remove any soap build up and screw the cover back on the shower drain.
If that doesn’t help, then you can try the trusty plunger or even try simple bleach. Most shower stall clogs can be taken care by a plunger, but after you successfully unclog the shower with a plunger, pour some bleach (quarter of a bottle should be fine) or pour baking soda in the shower drain and pour vinegar over it. This is a home remedy that many of our customers have used successfully. If your clog is more stubborn or further down the pipe, you will need an unclogging machine. Home Depot has a variety of machines that can be rented. You have to be very careful while using the machine to unclog your shower.
If you need our help with your particular situation, e-mail us. We will assist you step by step. If you live in Queens, Brooklyn, Bronx, Nassau or Suffolk you can give us a call. We will unclog your shower for $49.95.

Thank You

A sewer cleanout is an access point from where the sewer pipe can be serviced. Most of the residential and commercial sewer clean outs are usually 4” in diameter. More than one cleanout is required for longer sewer pipes. Having multiple clean outs on a longer pipe makes it easier to snake the line and get rid of the clog. Without having access to a cleanout the mechanic has to explore other options such as snaking the line from the vent or by removing a toilet bowl etc and these other options make it harder for the sewer mechanic to unclog the problem.
This is a hanging sewer line with the main trap easily accessible.  In this case, where the main sewer trap is accessible, having a cleanout every 100ft is usually a good idea. With the help of clean outs, a home owner can sometimes successfully unclog his sewer line himself without any help from a plumber or a sewer or drain company. All you have to know is which direction the clog is in and have a rented sewer cleaning machine. If it costs more than $49.95 to rent a sewer cleaning machine you can always give us a call 24/7. You will save money and will have your sewer unclogged the right way the first time. Call us today.
