Hair in the shower waste
Lift the grille, pull. A short snake after. A leaking tray: a plumber.
Almost always the hair is three centimetres under the grille. A glove, the waste up, a pull. Then a 3 m snake if needed. Not a stack cable, not caustic soda.
If the tray wets underneath, the silicone is another job (and in a windowless bath the extractor also matters: IgroCasa).
What to do now (€ 0)
- Lift the waste, pull the hair with a glove.
- Rinse. No caustic soda.
Minimal DIY
Household moves, not a building site. A stick and a deodoriser do not fill a dry trap and do not repair the sewer.
