    Clogged Drain
    HELP!! I was doing a small bathroom remodel. I was ripping down tile and dryway. I completely forgot to clogg the drain to keep any debri from getting in. Now every time the washing machine goes on rinse the shower drains over flows. Any suggestions? I rented an electric plumbers snake and it's not working.

    By the way the toilet works fine. I am at a lost. I just spent $50 renting a plumbers snake and does work.

    Rotor roter is what you need. They charge about 300.00.

    You have a blockage downstream from the shower, Remove the strainer and send your snake down into the trap. Once past the "U" bend of the trap see if you can auger through the trash and break it up so it goes on through. Flush with a pail of hot water. Good luck. Tom
