What Causes a Slow Shower Drain Without a Complete Clog?
A slow shower drain usually points to a partial blockage reducing flow. Common culprits are hair and mineral buildup that narrow the trap and branch line. If other fixtures are slow, wipes in the main line or tree roots can restrict the sewer. Recurring slowdowns often signal deeper issues like pipe bellies, misaligned joints, or collapsing sections. We use video camera inspections and rooter/hydro-jetting to find and fix the root cause. Ask about our $99 Drain Cleaning Special, which includes a free video inspection and same-day service.
