I have tried the following methods:
1- baking soda with vinegar and boiling hot water
2- vigorous plunging
3- snake ... couldn't get the 15 feet long darn thing to snake down the drain. At 2 feet deep it stopped at the curve (?) of the pipe.
4- Drano
The current status of the shower drain (no other plumbing problems) is better after method #4. Still, the water drains slowly. Should I pour down another 1 gallon of Drano? I really prefer not to use chemical.in our old galvanized pipes.
