Before we dive into the steps to unblock a shower drain, it's essential to understand what causes the blockage. Hair, soap scum, and grease are common culprits that can clog your shower drain, leading to slow draining or complete blockage. In some cases, external factors like tree roots or debris in the pipes can also cause blockages.

If you're dealing with a blocked shower drain, follow these steps to try and clear the blockage:

1. Use a plunger: Plungers are great for creating suction to loosen blockages. Make sure the plunger is properly seated over the drain, then push down and pull up quickly to create suction.
2. Use a drain snake: A drain snake (also known as an auger) is a long, flexible rod that can be inserted into the drain to break up blockages. Feed the snake into the drain and rotate it as you push it further into the pipe.
3. Use baking soda and vinegar: Pour 1 cup of baking soda down the drain, followed by 1 cup of vinegar. Let the mixture sit for a few hours, then pour hot water down the drain to rinse.
4. Use a chemical drain cleaner: If the above methods don't work, you can try using a chemical drain cleaner. However, be sure to follow the instructions carefully and take necessary safety precautions.
