    Clog Bathtub
    Our bathtub is clog. We tried the Clog remover (liquids) and it didn’t work now the water just sits there. We have tried the plastic plungers and the same thing wanted just sits there. What else can we try to remove the clog? :confused:

    Go to a home center, buy a 15foot drain auger for $8-$15, and run it through the overflow.

    Remove the face plate and the mechanism inside and send the snake down the drain. You will run into resistance after a couple feet, but just spin/push through the trap and the rest should go pretty easy, while snaking the drain be sure to leave a few inches of water in the tub so that once you hit the clog you will know as the water begins to drain, also see the images below, good luck.
