When I flush my toilet, it goes down very slowly, and then backs up into my shower....will a Draino or Liquid Plumber solve this problem??

I would start by getting a plumber's flat steel snake and work that slowly down the shower drain until you feel the clog, then work the snake back and forth until you feel the snake break up the block and the water flows freely.
Please take the grill off the drain and move it and it's screws into a rag and then place the rag out side of the shower so that nothing goes down the drain but the snake.
I don't think so!! I am no fan of putting harsh chemicals in your drainage system. Besides, they only seem to work in TV commercials. The only to be sure a drain's cleared is to snake it.Quote:
