As one of the most used plumbing fixtures in the home<\/a>, a bathtub that won\u2019t drain can be a very frustrating experience. Common causes of a clogged bathtub drain are hair, soapy sediment, and cleaning products that accumulate in the drain. A clogged bathtub drain will affect everyone in the house<\/a>hold. Fortunately, there are number of things a homeowner can do to clear a clogged bathtub drain.<\/p>\n

The following is a list of tips to fixing a bathtub that won\u2019t drain:<\/p>\n

1. Most clogs begin in the strainer. The first thing you can do is check the strainer on the drain if you have one. Use a screwdriver to remove the screws and clear out any accumulated hair and debris. Once complete, run the water<\/a> to see if the problem is resolved.<\/p>\n

Cheap Fix –\u00a0 Shampoo and soap can cause a gunky buildup to\u00a0<\/span>clog your bathtub drain. To combat the problem, boil a pot of water on the stove, and slowly pour it down the drain.<\/p>\n

While this tip might not work for all types of clogs (such as matted hair), the hot water can dissolve most soaps fairly quickly. Try this method first to see if it unclogs the drain and if not, it\u2019s time to move onto another method.<\/p>\n

2. You can use a plunger to unclog the bathtub. Fill the tub with water high enough so that the head of the plunger will be submerged in the water. Place the lip of the plunger head over the drain hole. Using forceful thrusts push on the plunger. Repeatedly plunge until you clear the clog and then run hot water through the drain to see if you cleared the clog and the water is continuously running through the pipes.\u00a0 If you cannot get plunger to work you may have to remove cover from tub overflow and block opening with a rag etc.<\/p>\n

3. Pour a drain cleaner in the bathtub drain. There are chemical drain cleaners on the market, however, some cleaners are corrosive and can damage the pipes. There are natural drain cleaners on the market that will clear a clog without harming the septic system. You can also make a homemade drain cleaner that consists of pouring a half cup of white vinegar and a half cup of baking soda. If it is a tough clog, it may have to sit overnight. After sitting, run hot water through the plumbing system to clear out any loosened and broken up debris.\u00a0 I personally have had great success with Drano Max Gel.<\/p>\n

4. Using a manual snake is effective at clearing a stubborn bathtub drain clog. First, use a screwdriver to remove the screws that are securing the trip lever face plate. Pull the face plate forward (towards you) and take out the drain stop. Then, unscrew and take out the bathtub drain grate. Feed the snake with the auger head going in first. Feed the snake through the drain system until you reach the blockage. Manipulate the snake so that you are grasping and loosening the clog. Push the snake auger head through the clog. Then, retract the snake and pull the clog out. Once you have the clog removed, run the faucet with hot water to get rid of any remaining pieces of debris.<\/p>\n

The method you choose to clear a bathtub drain depends on your personal preference and the nature of the clog. With a little \u2018know how,\u2019 clearing clog bathtub drains <\/a>can be quite easy, however, if you have tried all methods and your bathtub still won\u2019t drain, you should call a professional plumber who will have the skills and knowledge to find the cause of the problem and make the repair.<\/p>\n
