We have a clear drain.

A little after 1pm Pat the Plumber showed with his apprentice, who was promptly put to work while Pat chatted with me.

A little work with a powered snake and *whoosh* a bunch of crap (literally and figuratively) quickly flowed down the drain, past the clean-out and on to the main sewer line under the street.

I handed Pat a big (but not whopping) check and off they went to their next gig.

Cleaned out the tub and toilet, replaced the bathmat and shower curtain and we were finally able to take a shower.

My ex-landlady had a powered snake of her own and used it to clear my shower drain soon after I moved in (it was clogged by the previous tenant). It seemed really easy to use, and it's probably cheaper than the big check.

Considering the damage I've done in the past using a regular snake, buying and using this one was a real risk for me.

I don't dare buy a powered one of my own and risk running the snake through the drain pipe, through the tub and toliet and end up embeding it in the roof rafters.
