Slow Drains

[Drunk Tank]

My master bath shower drain is very slow. I pulled the drain cap pff to find that the drain is clogged with what looks to be years of hair and calcium and lime scale from hard water.

What is the best way to clean this out and does anyone have a recommendation on the best drain cleaner? Is there one that will dissolve the hard water scale? CLR?

I'll bet the smell was horrible, too.

Do you have a snake you can use to remove the hair?

You're better off snaking the hair, etc. out of the plumbing than using drano-type cleaners which have proven to eat away pipes over time.

I dont have a snake, but I may know someone who does. It is nasty.

FWIW, I know for a fact that DDD would be happy to come over and clean that out for you.

If you can't find anyone with a snake then you can buy them for pretty cheap at any hardware store.

I'm sure DDD has one you could borrow.

I thought this was going to be about the people in our lives, and maybe even on CUF, who slowly suck our happiness away.

I bought one of these:

Pulling out that fist-sized ball of my wife's hair was cheap and easy (and horrifying) with this little tool.

I know a few of these.

I like to know what I'm in for before hand. Truth in advertising!

I think about 18 inches but I'm not sure.
