How to Unclog a Bathtub Drain -- The Right Way

If water is backing up in your bathtub you've got a clog. And chances are it's due to hair and other nasty stuff. But don't worry, you can save yourself $79 to $100 by fixing this problem yourself. This video will take you through our step-by-step process on how to remove a clog in your bathtub.

Unfortunately, a lot of us are afraid to tackle this project. We shouldn't be. By using a pair of needle nose pliers and a screwdriver you can fix most clogs in a matter of 10 minutes of less. It simply involves removing the overflow valve that is directly below the bathtub faucet and taking off the screen that sits on the drain. If you're like me you probably don't mind taking 10 minutes out of your day to save $100.
