Why won't your shower drain?
Probably a hair clog. Snake it or use a drain cleaner.
Why does the shower overflow when I use the bathroom sink?
You have a partial blockage downstream of where the shower drain & the sink drain join into one pipe. You could try a thin plumber's snake, or add some drain cleaner, some bleach, or vinegar. About a liter of vinegar is the safest and should work well enough. Davis (davisbigelow.blogspot.com)
Why would your bathroom shower begin to flood everytime you use your upstairs shower or sink?
The shower drain and waste lines on up to the other fixtures located above need to be clear so that water will flow. Just downhill of the shower drain there is probably a blockage in the waste pipe. The blockage could cause slow draining. If it is completely blocked, the shower pan will not drain back out over time. You will need to run a plumbers snake down the line below the shower drain. If the toilet in the same room as the shower when flushed also shows water coming into the shower drain, it will be best to take up the toilet off the base and run a plumbers snake from that point. Warning for very slow draining lines or lines that do not drain, DO NOT use Drain cleaning chemicals. Good luck and you may wish to call rotorooter.
