View Full Version : Slow shower drain

We're on septic system. 4 months in house. Shower drain is slowing down. We have the strainer there and are catching the hair (lots of it) Where do we start to see what's slowing it down? Afraid to put anything down there because of the septic system.

If it is only the tub, then the tub trap needs to be cleared,try a small
hand snake thru the overflow plate, and then a vigorous plunging with
warm water. Good luck!
