What Causes a Slow Shower Drain Without a Complete Clog?
A slow shower drain without a full clog is usually caused by partial buildup on the pipe walls. Hair and grease residues trap debris, which restricts flow over time. If the blockage is light, a snake can clear the immediate obstruction. For recurring slow drains, deeper cleaning with hydro‑jetting washes the inside of the pipe to help prevent future blockages. Summers serves West Lafayette homes with licensed, background‑checked plumbers and 24/7 availability.
Quick checks:
- Remove hair from the drain cover.
- Run hot water to loosen residue.
- Avoid pouring oils/grease down drains.
