CLOGGED BATHTUB
PUTTING A DAMPER ON YOUR BATH
A clogged bathtub can seriously ruin a relaxing time in your bathroom. Baths are a great way to alleviate the stress of a long day or week. When you go to remove the water from the tub, and it doesn’t drain, it can be extremely stressful. The stress you just shed off can quickly come back with a pesky bathtub clog. Bathtubs are able to get clogged from hair, soap scum, dirt, and other debris that finds its way down the drain. While many bathtub clogs can be handled on your own, some require a professional’s touch.
WHAT IS CLOGGING YOUR BATHTUB?
From dirt to hair, bathtub drains see all sorts of debris that may cause issues later down the road. Even if these materials pass through your drain, simply using your bathtub can cause clogs. When your bathtub gets clogged, it can be caused by any number of materials or a combination. If you want to help reduce the frequency of clogs in your bathtub, be mindful of what goes down the drain. Here are the most common culprits of a clogged bathtub:
- Hair
- Soap scum
- Dirt
- Sand
- Mineral buildup
METHODS OF FIXING A CLOGGED BATHTUB
There are a handful of methods you can use to unclog your bathtub without calling a plumber. When these initial methods are unsuccessful, it is time to contact a professional plumber. The first method you should try to unclog your bathtub is to use a plumber. Yes, they are used for more than just the toilet. Give the drain a few plunges and let the water run for a few minutes. If this solution doesn’t work, try using a drain snake. These can be purchased at your local hardware store and are easy to use. Drain snakes are flexible augers that are effective in removing clogs from drains. Feed the auger into your drain until you feel it stop. This is likely the culprit and where you should start twisting or pushing. Once the water begins to drain, you know you’ve removed the clog.
WHEN TRADITIONAL METHODS FAIL
If the methods listed above did not help you with your clogged bathtub, it’s time to contact a professional plumber. Our professional plumbing methods are highly effective in removing persistent clogs from all sorts of drains. In some cases, the clog may go further down where your storebought drain snake will not reach. In these cases, our team may use an industrial drain snake or use a more effective method: hydro jetting. Hydro jetting has become an industry-leading method for removing clogs by professional plumbers. Contact Hydro Jetting and Drains Houston for the plumbing services you require when you have a clog that won’t go away.
WHAT IS HYDRO JETTING?
Hydro jetting is the process of using high-pressure water to remove clogs from a drain or plumbing. It can only be performed by professional plumbers who have the essential equipment and knowledge. It is the industry-leading method to remove persistent clogs in residential and commercial properties. Hydro jetting is safe, effective, and reliable. This process removes the entire clog rather than removing some of it like that of a drain snake. To get rid of that pesky clog in your bathtub, contact Hydro Jetting and Drains Houston.
