What Causes a Slow Shower Drain Without a Complete Clog?

A slow shower drain is usually caused by hair and soap scum building up in the trap and line. Partial blockages restrict flow even when there isn’t a full clog. Avoid chemical drain cleaners; they can cause corrosion and further damage. We clear these with high-pressure cleaning and use camera diagnostics on sewer lines when needed. Mention promo code DRAIN15 for 15% off drain cleaning and a free video inspection.

• Remove and clean the shower strainer.
• Pull visible hair with a small hook or zip strip.
• If it’s still slow, we can restore flow with high-pressure cleaning.
