A clogged shower drain is one of the most common plumbing problems — and one of the most frustrating.

At Mike's Plumbing, we provide fast, reliable clogged shower services to clear drains and restore proper flow. Call (310) 628-1796 today to schedule service.
Common Causes of Shower Clogs
Shower drains are vulnerable to buildup because of daily use. Common culprits include:
- Hair – The leading cause of shower blockages.
- Soap scum – Hard residue that clings to pipe walls.
- Body oils and products – Oils, scrubs, and gels that harden in pipes.
- Foreign objects – Small items accidentally washed into drains.
- Sewer line problems – Tree roots or deeper clogs affecting multiple fixtures.
No matter the cause, our plumbers have the expertise to clear the clog safely.
Signs You Need Professional Help
While some minor clogs can be handled with a plunger, you should call Mike's Plumbing if you notice:
- Water pooling in the shower or draining very slowly
- Gurgling noises coming from the drain
- Bad odors rising from the shower area
- Water backing up into nearby fixtures
- Clogs returning even after DIY attempts
These symptoms often point to a larger issue that requires professional tools and techniques.
Professional Shower Drain Cleaning
At Mike's Plumbing, we use proven methods to clear shower clogs, such as:
- Snaking – A drain auger to remove hair and debris near the surface.
- Hydro jetting – High-pressure water jets to scrub pipe walls clean (see our Hydro Jetting page).
- Video inspections – Camera tools to locate hidden or recurring blockages.
Our goal is not just to clear the clog, but to restore full, lasting performance to your shower drain.
Preventing Shower Clogs
Once your shower drain is flowing freely, a few simple steps can help prevent future problems:
- Use a drain strainer to catch hair before it enters the pipe
- Rinse the drain periodically with hot water
- Avoid heavy oils and products that can harden in drains
- Schedule routine Drain Cleaning to keep lines clear
Preventive care keeps your shower comfortable and your plumbing system protected.
