Shower drain clogged? These are possible causes

Do you want to unclog your shower? Then it is good to know what is causing the clog. A clogged shower drain can have several causes. For most causes, a clog can be prevented by regularly cleaning the shower drain. This will keep clogs and unpleasant odors at bay. The most common causes of a clogged shower drain are.

Hair

While showering, you lose hair. Over time, these hairs will accumulate in the shower drain, which can lead to a clog. This type of clogging can be prevented by regularly removing hairs from the drain.

Body dirt

Body dirt can also clog a shower drain. Often this happens in combination with soap scum and hair.

Soap residue

Soap residue, like body dirt, sticks to the inside of the shower drain, which can lead to a clog. Thus, in several drains, accumulated dirt can cause the clog.

Lime residue

The lime that water contains can also cause a clogged shower drain. Running water can leave lime residue in the sewer system, leading to a buildup and blockage.

Is your shower drain clogged and you want to unclog it? No worries. Call Sewer Specialist and have your shower unblocked by our expert technicians today! You can hire us for all types of unclogging services, including toilet unclogging and sink unclogging.

Unclog your own shower or have it unblocked?

You obviously think you can save costs by unclogging the shower yourself. The danger in doing so is that rather than solving the problem, you will actually make it worse. For example, the clog may end up deeper in the pipe by acting wrongly, which will lead to even more inconvenience and expense when a specialist comes by to unclog the shower drain and clear the pipe.

Unclog your own shower? Use these tips

You can try to solve a slight clog yourself. We recommend using natural unblockers and advise against using chemicals. We provide some tips to solve these superficial clogs yourself.

Unclog shower with water

First, you can try to unclog the shower by pouring buckets of water down the shower drain. When a whirlpool forms in the water, this is often the sign that the sewer connection is no longer clogged.

Unclog shower with baking soda

In addition, you can try unclogging the shower by flushing the drain with warm water and baking soda. Baking soda is a natural tool that can loosen and dissolve dirt stuck inside the drain.

Unclog shower with vinegar

Is there a lot of lime in the water? Then it is wise to make a mixture of baking soda and vinegar. Pour it slowly into the drain (because the mixture will fizz) and let it soak overnight
. Flush the shower drain - once the soaking time of the baking soda mixture is over - with water.

Unclog shower with materials

When these ways don't help, you can try unclogging the shower with materials such as a rubber plunger or a plunger spring. Using this method unclogs most showers. If you have used this method to unclog the shower before, it is better to try a different way this time. This is because there may be wear and tear on the drain if this unclogging method is used too often.

Be careful with chemical unblockers

Be careful with chemical unblockers. A liquid unblocker often contains many harmful chemicals and is often a short-term solution. We are happy to help you find a permanent solution to your clogged shower drain.

Shower drain cleaning

For unclogs that are quite on the surface of the shower drain, you can also choose to clean the shower drain and then flush the shower drain with water and baking soda. This way you can remove dirt from the shower drain.

Don't want to risk making the problem worse? Then call in a specialist immediately. Our professionals have the right knowledge and materials to solve your sewer problem, are happy to help you and, with our carefree guarantee, you are assured of a three-month warranty on the sewer service we provide.

Tips to prevent a clogged shower

In addition to helping you unclog your shower, we would like to help you prevent clogs from occurring in your home. That's why we've listed some tips for preventing a clogged shower drain:

  • Flush regularly with water and baking soda

By regularly flushing the shower drain with warm water and a handful of baking soda, you will clear the inside of the drain of soap scum and body dirt. This way, you can prevent a clogged shower drain and unpleasant odors in your home.

  • Place a strainer in front of the shower drain

By placing a strainer on the shower drain, hair, debris and other objects that can cause a clog will stay in the strainer and not end up in the shower drain. This way you reduce the chances of a clog. Clean the strainer after every shower, this way you can easily solve an incipient clog!

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions about our services? Check out our frequently asked questions below. Is your question not listed? If so, please contact us.

What are the signs that my shower drain is nearly clogged?

Signs of an approaching clog include a slow drain, bubbling sounds coming from the drain, and an unpleasant or foul odor coming from the drain.

Can a clogged shower drain lead to other problems in my home?

Yes, a clogged drain can lead to flooding, water damage to floors and walls, mold growth and unpleasant odors. It is important to address clogs quickly to prevent further damage.

How do I know if I should call a plumber for my clogged shower drain?

Slight blockages can often be fixed by yourself with a plopper, a drain snake, or a mixture of baking soda and vinegar. However, these methods can carry risks, such as damaging the pipes or making the clog worse if not done correctly. For severe blockages, where water no longer drains at all, or if you notice water coming up from other drains when using the shower, it is wise to call in a specialist right away. We can use the right materials and approach to solve the problem quickly and effectively, preventing further damage and allowing you to quickly enjoy a functioning shower again.

What should I do if my shower drain clogs regularly?

Regular clogs may indicate a deeper problem, such as a damaged or poorly designed drain. Consider a professional inspection of your pipes to determine the cause and fix it permanently.

What can I do if water is running from the shower drain onto the floor?

This is a sign of a serious blockage. Call a plumber immediately to prevent further water damage.

How do I maintain my shower drain after unclogging?

Be sure to use a drain strainer regularly, flush the drain weekly with hot water, and occasionally use a natural cleaner such as baking soda and vinegar. Avoid flushing large amounts of hair and soap scum to prevent clogs.

Can I have preventive maintenance on my sewer system performed by RBNL?

We offer various maintenance services, including sewer management, sewer inspection and sewer cleaning.
