Clogged Bath

A clogged bath is usually caused by a buildup of hair. And we all know a clogged bath can ruin the moment, when you are about to take a nice hot bath! So, what can you do to quickly remedy a clogged bath?

 

Here are some quick remedies for a clogged bath:

 

Use a plunger: This is one of the most effective and common methods for unclogging a bath. Fill the tub with a little bit of water, place the plunger over the drain, and push and pull vigorously to dislodge the blockage.

 

Baking soda and vinegar: Pour a cup of baking soda down the drain, followed by a cup of vinegar. Let it sit for about 30 minutes, then pour boiling water down the drain to flush out the clog.

 

Use a drain snake: If you own one… a drain snake, also known as a plumbing snake, can be used to reach deep into the drain and pull out any hair or debris that is causing the clog.

 

Use a hair catcher: Prevent future clogs by using a hair catcher that fits over the drain to catch hair before it goes down the drain.

Call your plumber: If the clog is particularly stubborn or you are unable to unclog it yourself, it may be time to call your professional plumber, Hydrostatic Plumbing & Air, for assistance!
