How Do I Unclog My Tub?
Tips for Unclogging Your Tub
Your tub drain is constantly taking in water from your showers and baths. The problem is that the water is not just water. It is often mixed with hair, dirt, shampoo, conditioner, soap, and other substances. These things will often build up inside the drain of your tub causing it to get clogged. You will notice that this happened when water is slow to drain, you have standing water while you shower, and you notice debris built up around the tub drain.
This can be frustrating, but you can unclog your bathtub in several ways. The first way is you can go to the store and buy a commercial product such as Drano to pour down your drain. The gel-like substance may capture stuck debris such as hair and dirt and push it further down the drain and into the sewer line, allowing your tub to drain more easily. However, these products can be harsh on pipes and damage them. Another option is a homemade solution such as pouring a cup of baking soda into the drain, waiting 5-10 minutes, then pouring down a cup of white vinegar into the drain. This may work to free up stuck debris and unclog your drain. The best solution is to hire a licensed plumber, like Brazos Valley Sewer Service, to snake or hydro-jet your drain. These are two safe and effective methods of clearing clogged drains.
