    You have a partial blockage downstream from your shower that must be snaked and cleared.
    You can do this in one of several ways.
    1)Snake from the shower drain
    2)Snake from the tub waste and overflow **OR**
    3) Snake from the lavatory roof vent. Put out enough snake to reach the base and 20 feet more.
    Good luck, Tom
