A slow shower drain usually means a partial blockage, not a full clog. Common causes include hair and soap scum in the P-trap. Biofilm (slimy bacteria) can coat pipe walls and slow flow. Conditioner residue and oils can stick and collect debris. Hard-water scale can narrow the pipe. A misaligned or sagging drain line can hold water. A mis-set stopper can restrict flow. If multiple fixtures gurgle, the issue may be downstream. We use camera inspections, hydro jetting, and Bio-Clean to resolve it.

Professional drain unclogging with ABC Plumbing, Sewer, Heating, Cooling and Electric can cost $93 for eligible residential sewer drain clearing, or it’s free if we can’t clear it. Final pricing depends on the drain type, access to the line, and how severe or complex the blockage is; we confirm the exact price after inspection. In our experience, most backups clear through an existing cleanout without extra equipment, but heavy grease, roots, or no cleanout can change the plan. Our team handles these jobs daily across the Chicago area.
Offer terms at a glance:
- Residential sewer drain clearing only (not full cleaning or hydro jetting)
- Accessible cleanout required; up to 100 feet; normal business hours
- One-time use per owner-occupied home; not valid for commercial or construction
- Free camera inspection required; not combinable; additional fees apply for work in the City of Chicago
Schedule an on-site evaluation so a licensed plumber can verify access, run the free camera check for eligibility, and give you the exact price before clearing. <br/> Updated: 2026-03-13 <br/> Need help in Chicago, IL?
