Why Does Hair Block Linear Drains?

Hair is one of the most common culprits when it comes to drain blockages, especially in showers and bathrooms. When washed off your body or combed out, hair can enter the linear drain and create clogs over time. This can lead to slow drainage, unpleasant odors, and even mold growth if not addressed. The narrow slits in linear drains can trap hair, and when combined with soap scum or mineral deposits, these blockages become more difficult to remove.

How Hair Affects Drainage

Hair, whether from your head or body, can tangle and accumulate in the drain, forming a dense clump that restricts water flow. If left untreated, this can result in a full blockage, causing standing water in your shower and potentially leading to plumbing issues.

Effective Solutions to Keep Hair Out of a Linear Drain

1. Install a Hair Catcher

One of the most straightforward solutions to prevent hair from entering the linear drain is to install a hair catcher or strainer. These devices sit on top of the drain and catch hair before it enters the system. They are easy to remove and clean, making them an affordable and practical solution.

2. Use Drain Covers with Built-in Filters

Many modern shower drains come with built-in filters designed specifically to catch hair and other debris. These drain covers are discreet and functional, blending seamlessly into the floor design while providing an effective barrier against hair buildup.

3. Regular Maintenance and Cleaning

Even with a hair catcher in place, it’s important to perform regular cleaning and maintenance. Hair and soap scum can accumulate on the surface, which can eventually cause clogs. Clean your linear drain cover at least once a week to ensure it remains clear and functional.

4. Use a Vacuum Attachment

Some people use a vacuum attachment designed for their drains to remove hair and debris. These tools can be used to suction out hair that has accumulated in the drain before it becomes a major problem.

5. Educate Household Members

Prevention is key. Educating everyone in the household about the importance of brushing and cleaning hair before showering can help reduce the amount of hair that enters the drain. You can also encourage everyone to clean up hair after use to prevent build-up.
