Shop vac might work but don't pour in any kind of chemical. You'll do more harm then good
piece of rubber stuck in basement shower drain
how would it be possible to remove a round piece of rubber about 2" in diameter that has fallen down a basement shower drain to the far side of the p-trap? If cable doesn't work, do you think that placing the nozzle end of a shop vac down against the shower drain body would produce enough suction to draw the rubber piece up & out. If not then do you know of some sort of chemical that is both strong enough to dissolve the rubber yet be harmless to the ABS plastic pipe?

Is it a ball? If so, maybe duct tape a length of garden hose to a vacuum cleaner hose and the suction might hold the ball enough to pull it out.

I think that I would try a toilet auger.
It has a hooked spring on the end of its cable and you can twist it with the auger handle to hook onto things and pull them out.
Good Luck!
