    Shower drain
    The shower drain in my double wide home drains very slowly. I cannot remove the drain as it's quite flimsy. I've tried to plunge it without success. What do you recommend?

    You have a partial blockage and the line needs to be snaked. Remover the strainer and send a snake past the trap and into the line for 15 feet or so. Afterwards flush the line out by running the shower. Good luck, Tom
