What Causes a Slow Shower Drain Without a Complete Clog?

A slow shower drain without a full clog is often caused by buildup that narrows the line and slows flow. This partial blockage can leave stagnant water and odors from bacterial growth. Professional drain cleaning uses high-pressure flushing to restore speed. Once cleared, hidden plumbing damage is easier to find. We help homeowners in Kokomo, Frankfort, and nearby.

• If the drain stays slow, schedule drain cleaning or a drain camera inspection.
• Foul odors or fruit flies around a drain can signal bacteria.
