Why a blocked shower drain can be the beginning of bigger problems

Have you ever been standing in your shower and noticed that their is a lukewarm puddle building up around your feet because of a slow draining shower drain?  It may seem like a small issue now but what if that slow draining water becomes a permanent feature?  While a shower may emit only a small amount of water compared to a fully run bath tub of water, it is still enough water build up to cause a problem if it won’t drain away.

A slow draining shower can be the first tell tale sign that the drainage pipe leading from the shower basin has an obstruction and is operating at reduced capacity. In short, you have the beginning stages of a blocked shower drain.  In this case, you have three options.

Blocked Shower Drain Option #1

Option number 1 is to leave it alone and hope it goes away.  We can tell you confidently with our decades of experience that this will not work.  A slowly draining shower is the first step to a full blown blockage and it is only a matter of time before enough loose hair strands, broken bits of soap and even a big collection of soap suds can slip through the grate and get caught.  This will all lead to the same conclusion – your shower drain becomes blocked and you will need to unblock it.

Blocked Shower Drain Option #2

Option 2 is to go it alone with the DIY approach.  There are enough supermarket brand drainage wonder solutions available that you can simply pour down your slow draining shower drain.  However these are very nasty chemicals that are not environmentally friendly.  They also have a limited working range ie. if the blockage is in the immediate area of the shower drain, it may help. But if the blockage is further down the drain pipe, it will do little to no good.  You may see an immediate improvement or you may not.  However if your DIY approach does nothing to fix the issue OR your shower drain begins draining slowly again after a short period of time then no amount of drain chemicals are going to fix the core problem and you will need to resort to option 3…

Blocked Shower Drain Option #3

Option 3 is to call in a professional drainage company.  We understand that it can be a reluctant process as calling out a drainage firm may seem like an expensive process.  It isn’t.  At JSL Drainage, we do not charge for call outs, we will agree a price with you before we begin any work and all of our drainage work is labour and parts guaranteed to give you peace of mind.  Our drainage team are fully trained and qualified in all levels of drainage work so you can be sure that you are getting the very best in drainage service from one of Glasgow’s leading drainage companies.  Our pricing is fair and honest and does not have any hidden charges or optional extras.  We are a truly independent drainage company so we don’t have to work a franchise fee into the price or follow strict franchise guidelines or anything similar.  The price you pay is the price it costs to fix your blocked shower drain.

We use the best in commercial grade drainage equipment to ensure that we get the job done. It is why our reputation across Glasgow is so strong.  Because we do what we say we will and we get the job done.
