A few weeks ago our shower started to occasionally drain slowly. As it got worse, I thought I'd have to get out the snake or call a plumber. Then the other day I thought 'why not just try the plunger?'

30 seconds of plunging, and I suddenly felt the blockage break loose, and the 8cm of standing water drained immediately.

Gotta love simple fixes that work.

    Fair enough, but my (old) house is all copper and steel plumbing, and it's all exposed from the basement. Been working on it 25 years, and while I hate the plumbing, I trust it.
