Using a drain snake

If the blockage is more severe, we will use a drain snake or an auger to clear the blockage. A drain snake is a long, flexible cable that is inserted into the drain and rotated while being pushed further down. The cable hooks onto any debris stuck in the drain, allowing us to pull it out.

Step-by-step process

Our process for unblocking a bath drain is straightforward, and we follow these steps to ensure that the blockage is completely cleared:

1. Drain the standing water in the bath.

2. Remove the stopper or strainer to access the drain.

3. Use a plunger to try and clear the blockage.

4. If that does not work, we will use a drain snake or an auger.

5. Once the blockage is cleared, we will run water in the bath to ensure that it is flowing smoothly.
