    What's Clogging Your Shower Drain

    Hair mat at the P-trap

    Hair catches on the strainer and builds a dense mat in the P-trap just below. This is 80%+ of shower clogs.

    Shampoo + soap scum

    Binds the hair mat together and coats the pipe walls. Over time it narrows the effective pipe diameter and slows everything down.

    Foreign objects

    Kids' bath toys, small accessories, bottle caps — anything small can slip past the strainer and wedge in the trap.

    Branch drain issue

    If the shower AND nearby sink slow at the same time, the shared branch drain is the problem, not the shower itself.

    Standing Water In Your Shower?

    Skip the chemical drain cleaner — it damages pipes and rarely works on hair. Call a licensed plumber.

    Clogged Shower Drain — Common Questions

    How much does clearing a clogged shower drain cost?
    Our $99 service fee applies toward the work. A typical shower drain clog (hair + soap buildup at the trap) is a quick job. Deeper blockages in the branch drain or stack are quoted before we continue — always upfront, never surprise.
    Why does my shower drain keep clogging?
    Hair is the dominant cause. Long hair wraps around the drain strainer and builds a mat in the P-trap below. Soap and shampoo scum bind the mat together. If we clear it and you see another clog in 6 months, a hair strainer over the drain saves you that visit.
    Can standing water in my shower damage anything?
    Yes — standing water can seep past the drain seal and rot the subfloor over time, damage the tile/grout, and in upper-floor showers drip down into ceilings below. Clearing the clog promptly is cheap prevention.
    Do you service showers in condos and triple-deckers?
    Yes. Quincy and Boston-area triple-deckers and condos often share stacks — one unit's clog can sometimes signal a stack-level issue. We work in condo and multifamily buildings regularly and coordinate access as needed.
    Will you tear up the shower tile?
    No — in almost every case we clear through the existing drain. We don't tear up tile unless there's a structural pipe problem behind the wall, and we'd show you the reason before anything is opened up.
