Master shower draining slowly

Slow shower drains are often hair and soap buildup in the trap or cover.

1. Remove the drain cover if it lifts or unscrews (careful not to drop screws).

2. Use a plastic zip-style hair tool or needle-nose pliers — not metal snake unless you know the pipe type.

Any gurgling in other fixtures when you flush?

If the clog is past the trap, hot water plus a small amount of dish soap can sometimes help soap scum, but avoid mixing random chemicals.

Does water eventually drain fully within an hour, or does it stay pooled?

That points to a deeper line clog or partial blockage in the trap arm. At this stage a hand snake or wet vac on the line is typical, which is maintenance territory.

Use Notify my landlord so they can schedule drain cleaning. Mention hair removed from grate and that other fixtures are normal.

Sounds good. Until then, short showers and keep an eye out for backup into the tub — if water rises from the drain when you flush a nearby toilet, stop using water and message your landlord immediately.
