Fast, Hygienic Clearing for Blocked or Slow-Draining Showers Across Hawke’s Bay

At Only Drains, we unblock showers fast, using safe, professional equipment designed specifically for hair, soap, and product build-ups. Whether it’s a simple trap blockage or a deeper line issue, our drain technicians get your shower draining freely again — without mess, damage, or delay. We regularly unblock showers in suburbs like Taradale, Greenmeadows, Ahuriri, Parkvale and Flaxmere, so you’re always covered wherever you are in Hawke’s Bay.
What Causes Shower Drains to Block?
Shower blockages are usually caused by everyday build-up inside the trap or pipework. The most common causes include:
- Hair build-up forming dense clumps in the trap
- Soap scum and body oils creating thick residue inside pipes
- Shampoo, conditioner & product residue (silicones, waxes, moisturizers)
- Dirt, sand, grit, and sediment from gardening, sports, or beach trips
- Hard water scale restricting flow over time
- Foreign objects like razor caps, bottle seals, or dropped items
- Roots or line issues if multiple fixtures drain slowly
We diagnose the exact cause quickly and clear it using the correct method for your plumbing type.
How We Unblock Shower Drains
We inspect the shower drain, trap, and surrounding pipework to locate the blockage.
Depending on severity, we use manual tools, augers, or hydro jetting for deeper line blockages.
We run the shower to confirm full, free-flowing drainage with no remaining restrictions.
