(I know-an ounce of prevention). I was looking at the wall of tools and checked the internet again to see what I needed, and this time I saw this tip. I got a small shop vac for $20 and had my crown back in five minutes, including taking off the stopper! My recemented crown popped off yesterday and slipped out of my hand while rinsing it off.

We tried plunging, cleaners etc to no avail. Tried the water vac and pantyhose trick and it sucked up a whole load sludge & hair that was blocking the drainage pipe. The pipe is 2 meters long. It's been bugging me for a long time, so thank you very much Michael. The shower drain in our holiday home in Bordeaux was sluggish taking away the water. We tried plunging, cleaners etc to no avail.

You're probably better off paying a plumber $300 to come out than to go get a $50 shop vac that has 1001 uses. Yeah, you’re right.
