Whether your issue is a nuisance backup or a structural failure, we handle it all in one visit.
Shower Drain Cleaning
Hair, soap scum, and mineral buildup accumulate over time, eventually filling your shower floor with water during every use. We clear the drain properly and check the condition of the line while we are there to ensure the problem is actually gone.
Shower Drain Repair
If your drain is cracked, improperly sealed, or loose, water can leak into your subfloor or the ceiling below. Shower drain repair is something we take seriously in Columbus, especially in homes with older tile shower pans that shift over time. We assess the seal and the surrounding area before recommending a fix.
Shower Drain Replacement
In many local homes built before 1980, cast iron drain bodies eventually corrode past the point of repair. Shower drain replacement in Columbus is the right move when the metal itself is failing, or a corroded strainer can no longer seal. We will give you a clear recommendation and price before anything is removed.
5 Signs Your Shower Drain Needs Professional Attention
In Columbus's older housing stock, the drain is often the last thing anyone looks at until it fails completely.
Watch for these symptoms:
- Standing water: If the floor is not draining at a normal pace, the clog is real and will not clear itself.
- Failed cleaners: If you have used multiple bottles of chemical cleaner with no change, the problem is likely beyond the p-trap or is structural in nature.
- Odors: A sulfur or sewage smell often points to a partial blockage trapping organic matter or a venting issue.
- Physical damage: Corroded strainers or cracked cast iron drain bodies (common in pre-1980 homes) allow water to reach places it should not.
- Hidden leaks: Water stains on the ceiling below the bathroom or soft spots near the shower floor are major red flags for a failed drain seal.
