What is a shower drain blockage and how do you recognize a problem?
If you're in the shower and the water isn't draining properly, you're dealing with a blocked shower drain. This is often caused by a buildup of hair, soap scum, and grease in the trap or drainpipe. Not only does it cause flooding in the bathroom, it also causes unpleasant odors and sometimes even damage to the floors due to standing water. Ontstoppen.nl We tackle these types of drainage problems professionally so that you can quickly shower without any worries again.

Common causes of shower drain blockages in the Netherlands

In some cases, the problem lies further down the sewer system, requiring us to flush the entire bathroom drain.
- Hair buildup: Personal care naturally takes care of hair that accumulates in the siphon under the shower tray.
- Soap and shampoo residue: Residues from care products quickly stick to the walls of the pipes.
