Step 6 · Cleanup and Reassembly

After confirming the drain is clear and the water is turned off, carefully pull the garden hose and the deflated bladder out of the drain pipe. Use your rags to wipe down the hose as you remove it. Replace the cleanout plug, tightening it clockwise with your pipe wrench or pliers to ensure a good seal. Clean up any water or debris on the floor. Disconnect the bladder from the hose, rinse both thoroughly, and store them for future use.
