Clearing it
We lift the grate and pull the hair and soap scum that have formed a mat just below it. Then we cable the trap and branch line so the full shower drains freely. We show you the wad we pull out, because it is usually impressive.
Leaks below
Water stains on the ceiling below a shower may come from the drain body, the pan or the tile grout. We test each part separately. A failed drain gasket can sometimes be replaced from above; a cracked drain body may need access from below.
Signs this is the job you need
- Water standing at your ankles
- Smell from the shower drain
- Stain on the ceiling below the shower
- Gurgling as water drains
- Water seeping at the base of the shower
Talk it through with a plumber
One call to (365) 364-2776 reaches someone who can tell you what the job involves and when a van can be at the door.
How the work goes
- We lift the grate and remove the hair mat.
- We cable the trap and line.
- We test flow.
- We test for leaks separately.
- We reseal or repair.
Tiled showers and linear drains
Custom tiled showers with linear drains along the wall are common in renovated Milton ensuites. Those channels collect hair along their whole length, and the trap below can be hard to reach. We lift the grate, clean the channel and cable the trap from above without disturbing the tile.
Asked on the phone line
Can I prevent clogs?
Use a hair catcher and clean it often.
Do you replace shower pans?
We can assess the pan and advise.
How a call to us runs
- You ring (365) 364-2776 and a person picks up, not a menu.
- We ask where the water is, what you have already shut off and what decade the building went up in.
- We say when the van should pull up and what to do until it does.
- On site we show you the fault, give a firm price before starting and clean up after.
