Outside buildings, modern drainage pipes are mostly made of plastic but older drain pipes may be made of glazed earthenware (which is baked clay) or iron.
What is plastic pipes made out of?
Plastic pipes are typically made from thermoplastic materials such as PVC (polyvinyl chloride), CPVC (chlorinated polyvinyl chloride), PEX (cross-linked polyethylene), or HDPE (high-density polyethylene). These materials are chosen for their durability, flexibility, and resistance to corrosion and chemicals. The pipes are manufactured using a process called extrusion, where the plastic material is melted and formed into the desired shape of the pipe.
What is the best Cleaner for slow shower drain?
Pour a half cup of baking soda down the drain followed by a half cup of vinegar. Cover the drain. After letting the mixture sit for several minutes, flush the drain with HOT water. Try removing the cover on the drain and cleaning any hair or gunk you can see. The hair is probably built up in the trap under the floor and unless you have a basement it will be difficult to remove and clean it. If the baking soda and vinegar doesn't work and you can not get access to the pipes, you'll want to use something that dissolves hair, the most likely cause of the drain slowing, but is gentle on plastic pipes.
