the 2 main methods of unblocking my house drains (a girl lived here before so there is a mess of hair in the shower drain i think, it occasionally blocks up)
1. pour a good amount of bleach down the drains (the thick bleach, like you'd put in a toilet) and let it sit for a few hours, pour some more then flush it out with generous amounts of really hot water.
2. Use commercial drain block chemicals. (usually bleach or lye anyways)
For fatty clogs or hair this works pretty good. I've never seen a mechanical pipe snake that was small enough to did through lengths of household plumbing (usually pvc) without damaging it. But then again I don't really have any clogs. However they are great for large outside drains.
