BATHTUB CLOGGED??...BEST WAY TO REMOVE CLOG FROM THE DRAIN!!
What happens here
After successfully clearing the clog with the drum auger, thoroughly clean any remaining debris from around the drain opening and the tub surface. Reattach the overflow plate using the multi-tool or screwdriver, ensuring the screws are tightened securely. Finally, run plenty of hot water down both the main drain and the overflow drain for several minutes to flush away any residual debris and confirm that the water flows freely and quickly. Observe the drainage rate to ensure the clog is fully resolved.
Goal: Confirm the drain is fully clear and reassemble the drain components.
