What Causes a Slow Shower Drain Without a Complete Clog?

A slow shower drain usually means a partial blockage in the line, not a full clog. Summers technicians clear these with a drain snake or, for tougher buildup, hydro-jetting that uses an ultra-concentrated water stream. If the slowdown keeps coming back, a high-resolution drain camera inspection can locate damage so it can be repaired or replaced. Skip chemical drain cleaners; they are corrosive and rarely fix severe clogs. For prevention, schedule professional drain cleaning about every 18 months in Dayton.
