Bathtub drains are constantly clogged. The most common reason for this is the accumulation of hair in the drains. If you would like to unclog your drains full of hair, you are at the right address. Throughout this article, we will go through four main methods of unclogging a bathtub drain full of hair, like using chemicals, drain claws, natural drain cleaners, plungers, and how New Era Plumbing & Septic can help.

Always Clean The Stopper

Before you start unclogging your drain cleaners with one of the methods below, you should always clean the stopper first. If hair accumulates in the stopper, it can go back to the drains after you unclog it. So, always clean the stopper first, and then try unclogging your bathtub drains.

Should You Use Chemical Drain Cleaners?

Chemical drain cleaners are another method of cleaning that is easy to access and use. You just pour it down the drain and wait ten to fifteen minutes. After the time is up, pour hot water down the drains and wait one to two minutes. Check to see if it works. Although chemical drain cleaners are very easy to use, they can also harm your drains if overused. Instead, look for natural ways of unclogging in the sections below.

Unclogging A Bathtub Drain With A Drain Claw

A drain clog is a new tool that many homeowners do not have. A drain claw has an auger attached to its end, allowing any substance clogged inside a drain to be easily pulled out. The claws are flexible and can fit into any drains. It doesn’t harm your drains and allows most of the substances to be removed.

Unclogging A Bathtub Drain With A Plunger

Plunger is a more advanced method of unclogging bathtub drains. Plumbers in Powder Springs mainly use it. It consists of a rubber cup attached to a long handle. The primary use of a plunger is to clean choked drain pipes, forcing and changing the water pressure. Repeat the process until you feel like what easily flows inside the drain and hair is starting to come out. However, sometimes, there are easier ways of unclogging the drains. Let’s see what they are in the next section.

Unclogging A Bathtub Drain With Natural Drain Cleaners

Did you know you can make your natural drain cleaner at home using baking soda and vinegar? Pour half a cup of baking soda down the drain and pour vinegar with it. Wait for ten to fifteen minutes and pour boiling water. If done right on a normal clog, this can have the same effects as chemical drain cleaners.
