A slow shower drain usually means a partial blockage, not a full clog. Common causes include hair accumulation that a jetter removes better than a snake, grease or residue narrowing the pipe, a small foreign object lodged in the line, early root intrusion in the main, or a vent pipe blockage. Our plumbers use video camera inspections to pinpoint hidden problems and can repair damaged piping after inspection.
Quick checks:
- Remove and clean the drain strainer for hair.
- Schedule annual professional drain cleaning; larger families may need it more often.

Home sewer lines should be inspected once a year and professionally cleaned about annually, with more frequent service for larger households or older systems. Most recurring issues come from buildup inside the line or root intrusion, which high‑definition camera inspections can spot early without digging. We see similar patterns around Kingsford Heights, where seasonal shifts and tree roots can stress aging pipes. In practice, we start with targeted snaking and only step up to hydrojetting when a camera shows heavy residue or roots. If problems keep returning, move to semi‑annual inspections to prevent emergencies.
Schedule sooner if you notice:
- A prior camera inspection found roots or cracks
- Repeated clogs in the same line within a year
- An older home or exposure to seasonal extremes
Do not use chemical drain cleaners in sewer lines; if flow drops or backups begin, stop using fixtures and book an inspection immediately. <br/> Updated: 2026-04-03 <br/> Need help in Kingsford Heights, IN? Call (219) 349-0509 or book online.

We currently offer a $99 drain cleaning special for a limited time, with terms and scheduling deadlines that apply. Simple drain clearing may qualify for the special.

For a clogged drain, DIY methods are fine for light, single‑fixture clogs, but a licensed plumber is best when the issue keeps returning or points to the main line. Most home clogs start with hair, grease, or soap buildup; quick DIY tries include a plunger or a hand snake. When we’re called, we can inspect with a video camera to locate the blockage, clear it with a motorized auger, or perform full drain cleaning with high‑pressure hydrojetting for long‑term relief. Technicians who serve Wanatah homes often find partial blockages that seem fixed after a basic clearing but come back without a thorough jetter cleaning. For prevention, many homes benefit from annual professional drain cleaning.
Call a pro first if you notice:
- Repeat clogs in the same drain after DIY attempts
- Multiple fixtures backing up or water at a floor drain
- Gurgling, slow drains throughout the house, or sewer odors
- Standing sewage, flooding, or any backup in a basement or tub
Avoid chemical drain cleaners; they can harm piping—start with a plunger and stop using nearby fixtures if water is backing up. <br/> Updated: 2026-06-07 <br/> Need help in Wanatah, IN? Call (219) 349-0509 or book online.
