Water backing up into your shower: causes & solutions

Sewer5 min readDecember 2024

Understanding shower backups

When water backs up into your shower, it's often a sign of a blocked drain line that connects to your main sewer system. This frustrating problem can turn your relaxing shower into a messy situation.

Common causes

  • Main drain blockage: Hair, soap scum, and debris can accumulate over time
  • Sewer line issues: Tree roots or pipe damage can cause backups
  • Improper venting: Poor ventilation can create pressure problems
  • Shared drain problems: Issues with connected fixtures like toilets or sinks
