What this service solves
Tub and shower drains clog differently than sinks. Hair binds with soap scum and body oil into a dense mat that catches at the strainer, the tub trip-lever or drop stopper, and the trap below. Because you are standing in the water, you notice the problem quickly.
We remove the strainer or stopper assembly, clear the tub or shower line, and run water to confirm it drains flat. Then we tell you whether it was a local hair mat at the opening or buildup deeper in the branch line.
Signs you should call
- Water pools around your feet and drains slowly after
- The tub holds water long after a bath
- Hair is visible right below the strainer
- Gurgling as the tub finishes draining
- A musty smell rising from the drain
How the service call works
- Remove the strainer, drop stopper, or trip-lever linkage
- Pull the hair-and-soap mat out at the opening
- Clear the tub or shower line if buildup runs deeper
- Run water to confirm it drains flat and fast
- Reset the stopper and explain how to slow the next clog
