A shower drain clog occurs when water cannot flow freely through the shower drainage system due to an obstruction, buildup, or restriction within the drain assembly or connected piping. In San Jose, CA, homeowners commonly experience shower drain clogs caused by:
Hair accumulation
Soap residue
Mineral deposits
Personal care product buildup
Foreign objects
