Bathtub Not Draining? Try These 3 Easy Fixes!

If your bathtub is draining slowly or completely clogged, this video will show you how to fix it without calling a plumber. In this video, I walk through three simple and effective ways to unclog a bathtub drain, starting with the easiest method that solves most clogs.

Before jumping into the fixes, I briefly explain how a bathtub drain is set up so you understand where clogs usually form and why certain methods work better than others. Most bathtub clogs are caused by hair and soap buildup in the drain trap, and in many cases, the clog can be pulled out through the drain opening.

I demonstrate how to use a simple drain cleaning tool, as well as a basic wire hook, to remove hair and debris from the drain. These are inexpensive tools that many homeowners already have or can easily make. I also cover additional methods in case the clog is deeper in the drain system.

This video is designed for homeowners who want a practical, step-by-step solution using common tools. If you’re dealing with a slow or clogged bathtub drain, one of these methods will likely get your tub draining properly again.
