24/7 Service · 30-Minute ResponseShower drain cleaning removes the hair, soap scum and shampoo buildup that slows or blocks a shower or tub drain. A technician takes out the drain cover or stopper, pulls out the clog near the top, then runs a small drain cable through the trap and the pipe past it. If the toilet or sink in the same bathroom is also slow, the clog may be deeper, and the line should be checked. Call a pro when water stands in the shower, the drain smells, or a clog comes back after you clear it. In Torrance, call Torrance CA Drain Cleaning Pros at (310) 340-1545, 24/7.
Knowing where the clog is tells you what kind of help you need.
| Where the clog is | What you notice | What usually fixes it |
|---|---|---|
| Drain cover or stopper | Slow drain, hair you can see | Remove the cover and pull out the hair |
| P-trap (the U-shaped pipe under the drain) | Slow drain, smell, clog comes back | Small drain cable through the trap |
| Branch line shared with the sink | Shower and sink both slow | Cable cleaning of the branch line |
| Main sewer line | Toilet bubbles or shower fills when you flush | Main sewer line cleaning |
Some shower clogs are close to the top. You can try these steps before you call:
Call a pro if water still stands after these steps, or if the clog keeps coming back.
A smell can come from hair and soap that sit in the pipe and start to rot. It can also come from a shower that is not used much. Every drain has a U-shaped trap that holds water and blocks sewer gas. If the shower is not used for weeks, that water can dry up. Running the water for a minute can refill the trap. If the smell stays, the drain may need cleaning, or the vent pipe for that bathroom may need to be checked.
Most Torrance homes are not new. About 6 in 10 were built in the 1950s and 1960s, and about 8 in 10 were built before 1980. Homes from that time often have galvanized steel or cast iron drain pipes under the bathroom. Over the years, rust and mineral scale make the inside of these pipes rough and narrow, so hair and soap catch faster than in a new plastic pipe.
If your home is from that era and the shower clogs again and again, the pipe itself may be part of the problem. A camera inspection can show the inside of the line.
Housing figures: U.S. Census American Community Survey data, as shown on Point2Homes.
Showers that many people use clog faster. Gyms, salons, hotels, dorms and apartment buildings see more hair and soap each day. In buildings where several units share one drain line, one clog can affect more than one unit. Property managers can save time by calling as soon as two or more units report slow drains. We also clean drains for commercial properties and homes.
Cleaning clears the pipe. It does not fix a broken part. Signs the drain itself may need repair:

It is the removal of hair, soap scum and buildup from a shower or tub drain, the trap below it and the pipe past it, so water drains at a normal speed again.
Hair mixed with soap and shampoo is the usual cause. It builds up in the stopper, the trap and the pipe just past it.
A simple hair clog near the top is often cleared in one visit. A deeper clog, or one shared with other drains, can take longer.
Run water for a minute to refill the trap if the shower is not used much. If the smell stays, hair and soap in the pipe may need to be cleaned out.
If the toilet bubbles when the shower drains, the clog may be in the main line, not just the shower.
It is mild, but it rarely clears a real hair clog. Removing the hair by hand or with a drain tool works better.
Harsh chemical cleaners can harm some pipes and are risky to handle. They also may not clear a hair clog.
