Step Two: Use a Plunger

A plunger is one of the most effective tools for unblocking a bath. We use a plunger to create suction that dislodges the clog, allowing water to drain. If the blockage is severe, we use a more powerful suction device to remove it.

Step Three: Remove the Blockage

If the plunger does not work, we use other methods to remove the blockage. We use drain snakes to reach the blockage and loosen it. We also use drain cameras to locate the blockage and identify the best way to remove it.

Step Four: Test the Water Flow

We do not leave until we are sure that the bath is unblocked. We run water in the bathtub to ensure that it drains smoothly. If we notice any issues, we check the drain again to locate any remaining blockages.

Preventing Blocked Baths

Prevention is always better than cure. Here are a few tips to prevent blocked baths:

• Use a drain stopper to prevent hair, soap scum, and oils from going down the drain.
• Use a strainer to catch any hair or debris before it goes down the drain.
• Clean your bath regularly to remove any dirt and grime that can cause blockages.
• Do not pour oil or fat down the drain as they solidify and cause blockages.
