Common Causes

Why Your Shower Is Not Draining Properly

  • Hair and soap buildupHair, soap scum and body oils build up in the drain over time. This is the most common cause of slow drainage.
  • Damaged or cracked shower baseCracks in the shower base can allow water to pool in the wrong place. The base may need repair or resealing.
  • Blocked or damaged drain trapThe drain trap can become blocked with debris or damaged. This prevents water from flowing away properly.
  • Incorrect fall or slopeIf the shower floor does not slope correctly toward the drain, water will pool. This is a structural issue that may require base repair.
  • Grout and silicone failureFailed grout or silicone around the drain area can allow water to seep under tiles, causing drainage problems and leaks.
