Zip It Drain Tool Fail! #plumbing #plumber #diy

What happens here

To access the drain where the broken piece is lodged, use a Phillips head screwdriver to unscrew the overflow cover on the bathtub. Once the screw is removed, gently pry off the cover. Before proceeding further, it is crucial to do yourself a favor and plug the main bathtub drain to prevent any dropped tools from falling further down the plumbing system.

Goal: Gain access to the overflow drain and secure the main drain.

Tools and materials

  • Phillips Head Screwdriver — To unscrew the bathtub overflow cover
  • Bathtub Overflow Cover — The part that needs to be removed for access
  • Drain Plug — To prevent items from falling down the main drain
