One of the worst plumbing nightmares is clogged drains. Soap scum, hair, dead skins any other disgusting trash could cause shower drains to clog. Absolutely not a good feeling when water is not draining during shower. Well, this happened to us! Fortunately, there are many DIY solutions for this situation and many products that could help. Of course, one of the most famous one is Drano! Question is, does Drano work? Let's find out!
As water was not draining, Dave immediately tried to use a heavy duty plunger to unclog the drain. While we saw some movement, but at the end of the day, no luck.

Then we decided to try Drano before calling for professional help! The one we used is the DRANO MAX GEL. Per the Drano website, this works well for completely clogged drain. Exactly what we need.
With skepticism, I went to ACE Hardware and got a bottle of Drano. The best part was it was on sale! Perfect.
Following the instruction, I poured in half of the bottle. Hopefully, Drano comes to rescue!
Waited about half an hour, no quite work. I thought, maybe it's being diluted and the Drano was not getting into the clogged area. So, I used a funnel to guide the Drano into the drain. Another key was, pour it in very slowly.
After another half an hour, still no movement... As I was about to give up and try to find a plumber. Whoa la! Heard a loud noise coming from the shower, I ran to check it out at once and here is what I saw! All the water was gone!
Thank you Drano. Fantastic job!
