What happens here

Access the overflow drain by removing its cover. Use a screwdriver to unscrew the overflow plate. Once the screws are removed, carefully pull out the entire overflow plate and stopper assembly. This will reveal the opening to the overflow pipe, which often connects to the main drain pipe via a tee fitting, a common location for clogs.

Goal: Unscrew and remove the overflow plate and stopper assembly to gain access to the overflow pipe.

Tools and materials

Go right here. We're gonna run our snake down this and There's a chance that at the tea right down here where this drain shoe connects to this overflow It kind of sets it goes back and then this goes down and it connects I bet we pull out everything that's right here within there by removing this for this job You're gonna want to get a little hand snake to put a drain cover back over that just so we don't lose a screw down the drain No one wants that Those popped out of there now this whole piece will just slide up and out and you can see that it's clogged I can't see through it. Actually, this has a double-wasting overflow gasket
