Hi. New to this forum so bear with me.
My shower is backing up every time I use it. The only way to get rid of the water is to use a plunger a couple of times and then the water flushes out with no problem. The shower runs into the stack pipe which we have checked and the pipes are clear of blockages. The sink gurgles when you use the plunger so we thought it maybe this pipe but the shower pipe runs directly into the stack so this should not be an issue??. Once the plunger has been used and some of the water drains away it just backs up again. We have now changed the shower trap thinking it could be that but to no avail. I now have run out of ideas completely. Does anyone know what is going on??? Thank you in advance
