    you can get an auger for like 30 bucks at home depot and snake it yourself........I have done our master shower a couple of times over a couple of years

    I have heard drano can be rough on the pipes

    I use a product called Thrift. You will probably have to get it from a plumbing store, I don't think you can get it from Lowes and stores like that. It is some bad stuff, make sure to follow the directions.

    Go to the hardward store ,you can get the good stuff there,Lowes or Home Depot won't have this.
    It's an acid it will burn you be very carefull of blowback out of hole ,does happen evey now and then. But it will eat just about any clog out I use it in my bath tub and sinks DON'T USE IT IN THE TOLIET.

    Disconnect the "p trap" (the U shaped part of the drain) and see if that is where the blockage is at.
