Chemical cleaners can't dissolve the thick mat of hair and soap scum deep in your trap. We mechanically extract the blockage to restore full flow instantly.
Safe for Fiberglass & Porcelain
You poured a whole bottle of gel down the drain, and it's still clogged. Why?
Shower clogs are unique. Long hair combines with the sticky fats in soap and conditioner to create a dense, web-like mat—almost like felt fabric.
Liquid cleaners are heavier than water, so they often sink right through the mesh of hair without dissolving it, sitting at the bottom of the pipe eating away at your seals instead.
You end your shower standing in 2 inches of dirty, soapy water that takes 10 minutes to drain after you get out.
Small flies appearing in the bathroom? They breed in the decaying organic sludge (skin cells and hair) inside a slow drain.
If flushing the toilet causes water to rise in the tub, the blockage is in the main line, not the tub trap.
Bathtubs are tricky. Going through the bottom drain often breaks the mechanism. We do it the right way.
We usually remove the overflow plate (the metal circle on the tub wall) to bypass the stopper mechanism and get a straight shot to the trap.
We use a small-diameter cable with a hook tip to grab the hair ball and pull it OUT, rather than pushing it deeper.
We run hot water to flush away remaining soap scum and clean the overflow plate before reinstalling it.
We use protective mats so our metal cables never touch your fiberglass, acrylic, or porcelain tub surface.
The best defense is a **hair catcher** (like a TubShroom or mesh screen) placed over the drain. It catches hair before it goes down the pipe. You simply clean it off after every shower. We can recommend the best model for your specific drain type.
This usually means there is a build-up of "bio-film" (bacteria feeding on soap and skin cells) inside the overflow pipe. We can clean and sanitize this area to eliminate the odor.
Yes! If your tub lever doesn't work or the stopper won't hold water for a bath, we can adjust or replace the trip-lever mechanism while we are there clearing the clog.
