This morning my shower tray filled up and the water took hours to clear (seems to have all gone now). I think there is a blockage in or just above a Hepvo trap that is installed by our plumber about 5 feet from the shower tray.
I have managed to get access to the trap, which is under the bath, but I'm having difficulty getting the Hepvo trap out. How should I go about removing it? I can see there is a joint above and below, both of which I have undone, just not sure how to get the trap out without breaking anything. Can I use main force to pull either end out, or is the joint that seems to be part of the top of the Hepvo filter not yet ready to detach?
As you can, I know nothing about plumbing but the shower is currently unusable so being pushed by wife to fix it ASAP.
