I feel like an idiot for not knowing about these.
Every 2-3 months I have to snake out our shower drain with a 25’ snake. Giant PITA.
After some web searches, I stumbled across these hair trap devices. They come in both external and internal configurations. Many different types to choose from.
I purchased an internal one, installed it, and am going to give it a try. In theory I can just pop it out and clean it instead of snaking the pipes. Folks tell me they work well. If this one doesn’t work I’ll try another type. They are fairly inexpensive.
They’re fantastic! Ours is a tub shroom.
They’re fantastic until your 9 year old takes the rubber plug with hair in it and drops it down the drain.
We’re waiting on a plumber to come snake it out. However, that aside, they really are fantastic at catching the hair. 100% recommended.
Also, talk to your kids about not dropping shit into the drains (hair, objects, and/or shit) and make sure they know it’s not a bottomless void.
Education is important 😂
my kids
What’s wrong with poop going down the drain?
That should be fine. Just make sure to stop the waffle
Stop or stomp?
Stomp* sorry
