Signs of a Clogged Bathtub and Shower Drain

• Clogged shower drain with standing water
• Shower drain clogged with hair
• Slow draining tub/shower
• Water is backing up
• Unpleasant odor from drains

What Causes Bathtub Clogs?

Similar to toilet and sink clogs, bathtub and shower clogs are typically completely avoidable. While there are a variety of ways your shower drain may develop a clog, below are the most common.

• Dead skin cells
• Hair
• Soap scum
• Hard water
• Trash

How to Unclog a Shower Drain

Bathtub and shower drains can be cleared in several ways. If your bathtub clog is caused by excess hair and soap, you may be able to clear the clog yourself. Common home remedies for bathtub drains include:

• Using a plunger: plungers work great for all types of drains, not just your toilet. Be sure to have one designated for sinks and bathtubs.
• Using a drain snake: you can rent these or purchase them at hardware stores. If this is your first time using one, be sure to ask for an explanation on how to use it first.
• Using chemical drain cleaners: these are useful for partial drains however, you’ll want to use them sparingly and not for complete blockages — the more time needed to clear such a blockage may result in damaged pipes.
• Bent hanger or wiring: stick the hook end into the drain and rotate it as you push down, fishing out hair and debris out of your drain.

Hard water deposits are trickier to resolve and tend to require the use of water softeners — which can pose a health risk if not used properly. If you are unable to fix your clogged tub with any of the home remedies mentioned above, contact AAA Drain Cleaning. We’ll clear your clog in no time!

How Can I Prevent Bathroom Clogs?

There are several things you can do to maintain clear bathtub drains including:

• Installing hair strainers over all drains
• Refrain from dropping pieces of soap down the drain
• Pour boiling water down drains biweekly
