How do you unclog a bath tub drain??nothing is working?

If you've already put in drano or something like that in the drain, it can be dangerous doing the following by yourself as it can splash back and hurt your eyes or hands. So proceed with caution if you have done that or call a plumber and tell him about the chemical. If you haven't put anything down the drain, proceed as follows:





Unscrew the circular thing in the center of the front of the tub. That will give you access to the drain. Get a plumbers snake and push it down into the drain till you hit the clog. Start turning the snake and push as you go, it should dislodge after a while, run the water as the clog starts to dislodge to keep it moving and just keep going till the tub drains properly.





Then let the water run for about 5 minutes to push the clog all the way to the street drain.





If that doesn't work, it's probably something in the outside drain and may require a plumber with more heavy duty drain snakes to get it going.How do you unclog a bath tub drain??nothing is working?

try using 2 plungers. one over the overflow and the other over the drain and plunge away....but first see if its just hair wrapped around the underside of the plug
