What does it mean to have a shower drain completely cleared?
Having a shower drain completely cleared is a specialized service that thoroughly cleans and unclogs the entire drain line of your shower. Stuck soap residue, limescale, hair, and skin oils often cause blockages that can be deep within the pipe. This can cause slow-flowing or even stagnant water in your bathroom and can cause a musty odor. We at Ontstoppen.nl We understand how frustrating this is. Using expert techniques, we not only resolve a superficial blockage, but we also clean and inspect the entire shower drain, including the connections to your home's main sewer or central drainage system.
Professional cleaning processes such as high-pressure cleaning, vacuum suction, and inspection with a sewer camera are used in accordance with the latest guidelines and insights from Stowa and RioolNet. This allows us to identify the cause of the blockage and implement preventative measures to prevent recurrence. The difference between a simple unblocking and a complete clearing lies in the level of inspection, thoroughness, and the structural solution to the problem within the entire system.

Why choose professional help for completely unclogging a shower drain?
Trying to unclog a drain yourself with baking soda, household cleaners, or a handheld plunger will only work temporarily. A complete blockage can be deeper, for example, in the downpipe, the bathroom's collection pipe, or the T-piece connection to the main sewer. Professional techniques, certified personnel, and the right equipment are required for a permanent solution.
- No risk of damage to pipes: Do-it-yourself repairs often cause scratches, leaks, or breaks in plastic or cast iron pipes. With our equipment, you avoid that risk.
- Expert detection of underlying problems: Camera inspections accurately identify hairline cracks, root ingrowth, or hidden obstructions. We don't just solve the symptom; we address the source.
- Preventing recurring blockages: A thorough cleaning and professional advice will give you lasting results without recurring problems.
- Fast service and fixed prices: With our all-in rate of €169,50 including VAT, you always know where you stand, whatever your problem, and we offer an 8-week warranty on all unblocking work.

Various causes of a clogged shower drain
A shower drain usually becomes clogged by a combination of everyday debris and external influences. Thanks to our years of experience, we've pinpointed the most common culprits.
- Hair and soap residue build-up: This forms clumps that stick in siphons, bends or horizontal sections of pipe.
- Penetrating roots in pipes: Plant roots can grow in through small cracks, especially in homes with older stoneware pipes.
- Accumulation of limescale: Especially in regions with hard water, limescale can form a hard deposit on the inner wall of drain pipes.
- Incorrect installation or subsidence of pipes: Poorly constructed or sagging drainage systems prevent dirt and water from flowing properly, and blockages can develop more quickly.
What techniques and tools do we use to clear shower drains?
The right tools and techniques make all the difference in completely clearing a shower drain. We work exclusively with high-quality equipment from Ridgid, Rothenberger, and Kummert. This ensures effective, environmentally friendly, and damage-free cleaning.
