How To Unclog Your Bathtub Drain! #plumbing #diy #homerepair #hometips

What happens here

After the clog is cleared and water starts draining, reverse the direction of the drill to retract the drain snake from the pipe. Once the snake is fully out, pull it back and remove the accumulated hair, soap scum, and other debris that was causing the blockage. Dispose of the debris properly, not down the drain.

Goal: Remove the clog-causing debris from the drain

Tools and materials

  • Cordless Drill Ryobi — Reversing the drain snake
