Moved to a home in Atlanta 6 months ago and found a slow drain in the master shower. I was able to get the water moving again but my concern is the buildup in the pipe (see picture). It appears to be some kind of mineral build up and I am not sure what is the best way to remove it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Just have to scoop it out. You can use a paint stick and scape the wall of the pipe and pull it out. I probably doesn’t go very deep and you may find hair in the mix. After cleaning it, use an old bottle brush and scrub it with bleach and rinse well.
I have found a black like slim coating on the pvc pipe in my drains. It’ll just peal off and no harm.

Just to add to what WorthFlorida said, a little vinegar might help break it up before you start chipping.
