Standing water in your shower or a bathtub that won't drain is more than an annoyance. Downing Plumbing clears shower and tub drain clogs throughout Lake, Porter, and LaPorte County — fast and completely.
SHOWER & TUB DRAIN CLEANING
Shower and bathtub drains are notorious for hair clogs. Over time, hair wraps around the drain stopper mechanism and accumulates deep in the drain line, mixing with soap scum and shampoo residue to form a dense blockage that holds water back. By the time you're standing in an inch of soapy water at the end of a shower, the clog is usually well established inside the drain pipe.
Downing Plumbing uses a professional drain cable to reach deep into shower and tub drain lines and physically remove hair and soap buildup. Unlike a hand drain snake or chemical cleaner, our professional equipment reaches the full depth of the drain line and removes the blockage completely — so the drain flows freely the way it's supposed to.
If your shower or tub drain has been slow for a long time, there may be significant soap scum and mineral scale coating the pipe walls as well. In those cases, hydro jetting can scour the pipe clean and restore full capacity. We'll assess what the drain needs and give you an honest recommendation.
