Shower drain cleaning is one of those ‘musts.’ You know it is time to get Chris’ Plumbing out to your home if you notice a ‘not-so-pleasant’ smell emanating from your shower drain. If you see that your shower drain is taking longer to drain than usual or if water is backing up into your tub, it’s time to clean it. Luckily, with some elbow grease and some common household ingredients, you can get your shower drain flowing freely again in no time. If you have ever looked down at your shower drain and seen a ring of grime, you know how important it is to keep them clean. But, sometimes, learning how to clean your shower drain can be difficult. This article will show you some simple tips on how to clean your shower drain and keep it looking new.

Why a clogged shower drain is a problem

A clogged shower drain is a problem for several reasons:

  1. Standing water in the shower can be a breeding ground for bacteria and mold.
  2. The water can cause structural damage to your home if it is allowed to seep into walls or floors.
  3. A clogged drain can be difficult and expensive to fix.

If you have a clogged shower drain, you must call Chris’ Plumbing & Repair as soon as possible to avoid further damage.

Prevention: how to keep your shower drain clear

Clogged shower drains are a pain and can be tough to clear. But there are some things you can do to prevent them from happening in the first place.

First, invest in a good drain cover. This will help keep hair and debris from going down the drain and causing a clog. It would be best if you also were careful about what you’re putting down your drain. Avoid pouring grease or oil down the drain, which can solidify and cause problems.

Finally, make sure to clean your drain regularly. This will help remove any build-up that could eventually lead to a clog. You can use a plunger if needed, but avoid harsh chemicals, as these can damage your pipes.

You need to call us here at Chris’ Plumbing to get the job done for those clogs that will not resolve.

DIY: how to unclog your shower drain

If your shower drain is clogged, you don’t need to immediately call us here at Chris’ Plumbing & Repair. Instead, you can quickly unclog your shower drain at home with these simple steps.

First, remove the drain cover and any hair or debris you can see. Then, pour boiling water down the drain to help break up the clog.

Next, use a plunger to try to dislodge the clog. If the plunger doesn’t work, try using a wire hanger for fishing out the clog.

Finally, pour a mixture of baking soda and vinegar down the drain and let it sit for an hour before running hot water down the drain to flush it out.

When to call a professional: when DIY doesn’t work.

It can be gratifying to take care of home repairs and maintenance independently. After all, who doesn’t like saving money? But some tasks are better left to the professionals, like shower drain cleaning. If you’ve tried everything and your drain is still clogged, it may be time to call reinforcements.

You might wonder, how do I know when to call a professional? Well, here are a few things to keep in mind. First, if the problem is beyond your skill level or comfort level, it’s probably best to leave it to someone who knows what they’re doing. Second, if you’ve tried everything you can think of and the problem persists, it may be time to get some help.

It’s no secret that shower drains can get pretty dirty pretty quickly. And while there are many ways to clean them, sometimes the most effective method is also the simplest: an excellent ol’ fashioned cleaning with soap and water.
