Tub & Shower Drain Cleaning
Hair and soap scum are the most common household clog. We clear tub and shower drains completely, not just the top few inches.
What causes it
- Hair binding with soap scum
- Bar soap residue and hard-water scale
- Old drum traps in older cabins
- A main line problem if other fixtures are slow too
Signs to watch for
- Standing water while you shower
- Slow draining after a bath
- Gurgling sounds
- Odor from the drain
What you can try first
Pull and clean the stopper or strainer. Many clogs sit right there. A plastic hair-removal strip can help. Avoid chemical drain openers, especially in older metal pipes.
How we clear it
We clear the trap and the line beyond it with the right size cable, and check for an old drum trap or a vent problem when a drain keeps slowing down. If the tub backs up when the toilet flushes, we'll check the main line.

Frequently asked questions
Why does my shower drain keep clogging?
Hair and soap scum rebuild in the trap. A drain strainer helps a lot, and a full cleaning clears what's past the trap.
Why does my tub fill when I flush the toilet?
That points to a main line blockage. Stop using water and call us.
