Clear the Drain Clog

What happens here

With the old drain flange removed, inspect the drain opening and the exposed pipework for any accumulated debris. It is very common to find significant hair clogs, often mixed with soap scum and other grime, trapped in this area. Using a pair of pliers, such as Knipex pliers, carefully reach into the drain and grasp the clog. Pull the hair and debris out in sections until the drain is visually clear and free of obstructions. This step is crucial for ensuring proper drainage once the new stopper is installed.

Goal: Clear any obstructions in the bathtub drain.
