A slow shower drain is usually a partial blockage. Hair, soap scum, and biofilm narrow the trap or line. Mineral buildup or a sticky stopper can also slow flow. Gurgling or sewage smells can signal a bigger issue in the main line. We diagnose first with video camera inspections and use chemical-free cleaning or hydro jetting when needed. Ask about our $79 drain clearing for active clogs (main line up to 100 feet) in Kansas City homes.
Quick checks:
- Remove the strainer and clear visible hair.
- Run hot water and a microbiological cleaner.
- If slow persists or you smell sewage/gurgling, schedule a camera inspection.

Professional drain unclogging with A.B. May starts at $79 for active clogs and includes clearing the main drain line up to 100 feet. Most straightforward sink or tub clogs are quick to clear, but deeper or recurring blockages can take more time and tools, so final pricing is confirmed after an on-site diagnosis. If several fixtures back up at once, we treat it like a main-line issue rather than a single drain. Our team handles these situations daily for homeowners throughout the Kansas City area.
Costs vary with the job specifics:
- Simple snaking at a fixture drain (hair or soap buildup)
- Main drain clearing when multiple fixtures are affected
- Video camera inspection to pinpoint the problem before work
- Hydro jetting for grease, scale, or tree roots; trenchless repair if the pipe is damaged
If water is backing up from a floor drain or multiple fixtures, stop using water and schedule an evaluation right away. <br/> Updated: 2026-04-01 <br/> Need help in Kansas City, MO? Call (913) 386-6319 or book online.
