Tub & Shower Plumbing FAQs
To prevent clogs in your tub or shower drain:
- Install a drain cover to catch hair and debris.
- Regularly clean the drain cover and remove any buildup.
- Avoid disposing of grease, oils, or large particles down the drain.
- Use a drain cleaner monthly to break down buildup.
- Flush with hot water to clear minor obstructions.
- Consider a professional inspection if clogs persist or if you have old plumbing.
If your shower has low water pressure:
- Check for clogs in the showerhead and clean it if necessary.
- Inspect the water valves to ensure they are fully open.
- Examine the water supply lines for any leaks or blockages.
- Test other fixtures to determine if the issue is isolated to the shower.
- Consider installing a pressure-boosting showerhead or consult a professional if the problem persists, as it might indicate a more significant plumbing issue.
To fix a leaky tub or shower faucet:

What Are Some Issues I Could Experience With My Tub Or Shower?
Unlike your air conditioner or your appliances, you may not think your bathtub or shower could cause you major problems. Unfortunately, you'd be wrong. There is definitely a chance they can have major issues, but luckily there are also signs you can watch for to get them addressed before they get out of control:
- Broken Fixtures - If the faucet or control knobs are broken, they won't work correctly. It's pretty simple. We use these things every day and wear and tear will build up over time. If yours feel stuck, have chips, or don't move the way they used to, get them checked.
- Leaks - A water leak is a hidden danger anywhere in your home as plumbing, but especially in the bathroom or kitchen. If you're noticing water in your under-sink cabinets, on the floor, or anywhere it isn't supposed to be, have our technicians investigate.
- Discoloration & Damage - Is your tub cracked? Has your shower stall gone from a pearly white to a disconcerting yellow? These eyesores are a sign it's time for an upgrade. They can also be indicative of weak tub bottoms or shower pans, which can become huge issues later on.
- Clogs - Sludge, grease, hair, and other things can get down your tub or shower drain and cause a clog, leading to water backing up - and who wants to stand around in their old bathwater? Our pros have yet to meet the clog they couldn't bust.
