Nothing beats a morning shower or a relaxing shower after a long day at work, but a clog can interfere with your session. A clogged shower drain is a common problem, but there are steps you can take to reduce your chances of getting one. Bradford Plumber provides drain cleaning and repair services to get you back into a working shower, but there’s a better way to deal with clogged showers than unclogging. In this article, we will discuss some preventative measures. Here are a few gadgets to help keep your shower drain clear. If you have any questions or would like to hire a licensed plumber, please contact Bradford Plumbing. We are open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

The Drain Filter

Limiting the amount of gunk that can make its way down the drain is a simple and effective way to prevent shower clogs. A mesh drain screen, also known as a hair catcher, is installed on your drain entry to catch debris before it can flow down the drains and potentially become clogged. Just keep in mind to empty the contents of the mesh drain screen after a few showers. It’s a little gross, but it’s well worth the convenience of a smooth-flowing drain.

A Shower Organizer

Let’s keep limiting the amount of debris that can get into your drains. You must have a plethora of self-care items in your shower, including bar soap. Animal fat is a common ingredient in bar soap. Fats, as you may be aware, are a major cause of clogs because they do not completely degrade. A shower caddy will keep your bar soap in place and keep solid pieces from getting into the drains. A shower caddy is also a great way to keep all of your shower essentials in one place.

A Brush for Hair

A hair brush may not be considered a “gadget,” but it can do wonders for your drains. While you will still lose some strands while in the shower, brushing your hair before entering will significantly reduce the number of hair strands that flow into the drains. Because hair is possibly the most common cause of shower drain clogs, this is probably the most useful tip on our list.

A Pet Shower in the Park

Pets, too, require showers! Cats and dogs, like humans, have a lot of hair, or fur, which can cause serious plumbing problems. In fact, your pet most likely has a lot more fur than you do. When the weather is nice, we recommend bathing pets in an outdoor pet shower or, if you don’t have one, in a kiddie pool. If you don’t want your pet to get sick during the winter, consider laying a washcloth over the drain when bathing your pet indoors. The cloth will trap the fur, allowing you to discard it rather than allowing it to clog the shower drain.
