My bathtub has been taking over half a day to drain. It's been absolutely horrible for a family of five. It took me less than fifteen minutes to do this. Thank you so very much.
Same, I have a large family of 8 and I swear my tub is clogged solid atleast 4 times a year. I'm going to try this method rn because I'm sick of fighting with this slow moving drain again and again!
I'm a 75 year old woman with a 35 year old house. This evening after taking a bath, my tub drain stopped up on me. I decided to come to YT to see if there was help....and BINGO, you showed me the way to unclog it!! Thank you so much for being here!!
This is the type of video that keeps $100 in your wallet. 8 years later (2022) and it's still a great video. Thank you for sharing your time and knowledge.
I unclogged my own bath tub after watching this and it worked. Thank you for this. However, you failed to mention a side-effect of this procedure.... a general feeling of AWESOMENESS :) Thanks again!
I tried to get my son to follow these instructions. He insisted that it was pointless and not work. He went to Home Depot as his dad instructed him. I began working on the steps. 10 minutes later it was working fine. Thank you very much
Thanks for this man, I was a bit skeptical at first because I had been giving the tub the ol' Plunger for about 45 minutes. That tip to create pressure by sealing the top cap is so great! Saved me a call to the plumbers and made my family proud at me. Cheers!
I wants to thank you so very much for helping us with your tips, we were without a working tub for 1 month, no money to pay a plumber... I bought only God knows haw many different acid products to try unclog our bathtub and nothing, absolutely nothing worked! My wife was exhausted of having to pull water out with a bucket to dispense in the toilet after the kids shower... You have no idea how thankful we are to you and your video, from the bottom of our hearts: THANK YOU!!!! God bless!!!! Leandro & Claudia, Burlington, NC
Wow so this actually works? I may have to try this tomorrow when the water finally goes out. My cousins destroyed the drain. It was working fine a week ago. An than came back from the lake and they got it so disgusting that it takes HOURS to drain like nearly 24 hours. I spent at least 8 hours in the bathroom taking a plunger hoping it would go down. An it rarely ever did. So I got tired of doing that and just put a roll of paper towels into it to soak all that nasty water up. I can't wait to try this out. Hopefully a clown doesn't get me at the end of that drain lol
I know this is a old video, but thank you. You helped me fix my drain without having to call a plumber. A bunch of hair came out from my wife just wanted to give you props.
Plugging the upper drain with a washcloth was the trick!! It made my plunging more effective. 30 second fix! I didn't even have to snake the drain. Thank you!
HOLY SHIT! I did this and pulled out the biggest, thickest, most disgusting glob of gunky hair I've ever seen!! Bathtub drains smoother than ever now. Thank you!!
I had been fighting with my bathtub drain for a year and a half, watching RUclips videos all the while. Then today I found your video and now my drain is fixed thank you so much for posting this video.
I literally cannot thank you enough for sharing this. You saved a young single homeowner from what I'm guessing wouldve been at least ~$150 plumber bill. Thank you and bless you!!
I'm not even going to lie...I was skeptical that this would work. Funny enough, this COMPLETELY solved the issue!!! I'm not even a plumbler, handywoman, carpernter, etc. and was looking through RUclips trying to brace myself for some of the work that looked a bit complex. This method was very simple and TOTALLY EFEFCTIVE! THANK YOU THANK YOU! This saved me some coins and solved the problem that looked to be worsening.
You may never see this comment, but thank you so much! Your technique worked! I was tired of waiting for someone else (husband) to fix the chronically slow drain for me so I researched, tried a million things that didn't work, and finally found this video. I fixed the drain myself and couldn't be happier! Girl power! ✊
My man!!!! It worked. I tried Draino, liquid plumber, a little hair rod pipe cleaner thingy...nothing worked. I watch this, get the plunger and boom! You just saved me a call to a plumber and who knows how much money!! Thanks!!
our tub has been clogged for ages, and we've tried everything we could think of to unclog it. this technique did the job in minutes! it was amazing! thank you!!!
I’ve been working on my tub for a WEEK now. Obsessing about it upset I cannot take a good enough shower because of slow draining water. And I tried this, and it worked. Thank you from the absolute bottom of my heart.
Just did this to the shower in my apt, after 2 bottles of draino, and plunging to no avail. This video rescued me. Although gross, works like a charm. Thank you !
Great video for a plumbing noob like myself. I came home to find my bathtub with about 4 inches of sitting water. We just had a plumber out here for another project a couple days ago and I was not looking forward to having him come out again. Quick Google search led me to this video and 10 minutes later, all the water has drained and we're all good and back to normal. Thanks bro!
It worked like a charm. To anyone who tries this and is discouraged when it doesnt work right away, just reply and keep trying. It took me like 15 mins but then it just started draining. I almost gave up
Ya, I gotta hand it to you, the whole washcloth in the baggie worked for me. I must have spent over 40 bucks on the drain clog solution gel stuff that never worked. It was clogged for 2 good weeks! Thanks so much for the video!
Thank you so much for this tutorial! I have never enjoyed a shower so much as the one I just took after following your instructions. I have been on shower strike for days trying to get my partner to fix the drain, but finally caved. YOU JUST SAVED A RELATIONSHIP.
Just tried it after using draino and two weeks of useless plunging, tried your method and it worked like a charm. Thanks so much for the expert advice, ten 👍 up!!!
This is my first time to comment, I think this guy deserves it, my bathtub was clogged almost 7 days, I tried almost everything, but when I tried after seeing this videos it didn’t take me 30 seconds. Thank you so much
This was extremely helpful! My shower has had slow drainage for months and this week it was completely clogged. I was about to call my landlord but then I found your video. I followed your instructions and it drains perfectly now. Thank you!
WOW! I've been sick and tired of my bathtub clogging every second month and then trying half a dozen things and eventually having to call a plumber. I tried this and it took me literally less than 3 minutes from start to finish to unclog my tub! This is INCREDIBLE! Thanks so much for sharing!
^THIS!^ This fixed my mess. You can really tell the difference when you plunge the clog with the overflow drain open vs plugged up. It fights you when the air has nowhere to go! TYSVM, JRESHOW!!!
This worked well. I bought an "old school" plunger ($2.67 at Walmart) and think I found an effective solution to the "rag in a bag" plug for the vertical opening under the faucet. I used three strips of Gorilla tape, however duct tape might be as effective, over the hole after removing the chrome plated cover. In doing so I was able to generate maximum pressure for breaking up the clog. On some tubs the device under the faucet serves a dual function: drain stopper and air intake. On my tub, it is simply for air intake to allow the water to drain more quickly from the tub. That said, once you believe you've effectively cleared the clog, the rate of draining will increase once the tape, or plug, is removed from the hole beneath the faucet.
Thank you so much!!! Have been dealing with tub drain problems for years. The strongest drain opener did nothing to solve the problem. I could not get the auger past around the bend. I watched your video yesterday and last night, to help things along, poured Dawn dish soap and hot water to work overnight. This AM, it took a few tries with the plunger, but busted open the clog!!!! I am guilty of having used too many solid state products… bar soap, coconut oil, Shea butter, etc. Will now not apply those in the shower! The least amount of bar soap and will treat weekly with Dawn, hot water and the plunger!! Thank you again!!
Thank you so much! We were focused on the drain, with no idea we should remove the other part and voila - standing water drained instantly. The piece was worn and needed to be replaced. You saved us having to deal with landlord, plumber, waiting, etc. Also, you vindicated me because the man was blaming my "long strands of hair" for it.
THANK YOU SO MUCH! My bathtub got clogged and I thought that I may have to go buy something or hire someone. But this vid was extremely helpful and I uncloggged my drain in 5 minutes! This is an Eyewitness Account, this technique works!
An extra tidbit that works for me is when you are plunging the drain, pull the plunger off as hard as you can. It will pull a bunch of the gunk up and out so you don't just rinse it back down the drain. Instead clean it up with your towel and bag. Awesome video worked for me.
My freaking hero. Thanks for this video. I've been plunging the drain for two days, bought a snake, drano, and exasperated, I look on RUclips. This solved the problem, first try. Great video.
I wish I could thank you personally because this worked like a charm!! My drain was draining really slow before it clogged and now the water goes down, with no problem. Thank you very much!!
Oh my wow=you are so awesome,my brother!!!!! I in an apartment and the parts are old and very faulty.l no nothing about plumbing;I removed the drainer? as you demonstrated and I tried the plunger for at least an hour,oh lord help me please,oh yes,I prayed of course.God gave me the thought,"youtube".I picked u first and u showed me the magic touch;a piece of torn towel in a plastic bag to cover the hole,preventing water spewage and I tried the plunger one more time and ,BINGO!!!!!!! Thank you so much,you are a mighty blessing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! instantly the water drained,like,Moses parting the red sea!!!!!! Heck ya I am excited,I was going to have to miss work for this.God bless you,peace and protection upon you and family in Jesus~~~~~!
same plunger no go after pumping the bathtub drain many many times. was about to give up. saw this video. tried "plugging" the top pipe somewhat as instructed before pumping. BOOM. water drained again and drained well. could not believe it if i had not seen it with my own eyes. THANK YOU JRESHOW.
I was just about to give up hope on unclogging my drain myself and was getting ready to call a plumber, but I gave it one more try with the instructions from your video and the drain finally cleared!!! I am estatic. Thank you so much for sharing this.
I just did this and it worked instantly :) I've never done anything like this before but being single, living alone, forces you to save money while doing it yourself! Def works!!! (I also went the extra mile & used "Hair Clog removal" after unclogging the tub, since my hair is super long - bought all the items I needed at my local grocery store)
Man i got to tell you, that worked instantly. My tub drained completely. Hair balls and all. LOL. You just saved me some money. A plumber would have bent me over the tub and violated me and my wallet. LMAO..Thanks for the help sir. Its nice to have people on RUclips who actually want to help others. And save them money. Thanks again.
Thank you so much my bathtub was so clogged up to the point where it completely stop draining. I did your method for about 30 minutes and now it drains instantly you are a lifesaver!!!!
If I could give 3 thumbs up I would! I tried snaking, plunging, and commercial Grade drain cleaner. NOTHING WORKED!!! But THIS, Applying pressure by plugging the hole? Worked like a charm. Saved me an arm and leg with the plumber.
Both my tub and bathroom sink were stopped up...thanks to this video they're working like a champ...you're the best!!!!...closing that air flow piece is genius...
Wow! Thank you for the video!! Took me less than 15 minutes to make my bathtub flow again (and even faster!). And thanks for the tips on chalking the gap. VERY helpful!
Life and money saver! Much appreciated! After spending 2 days trying to unclog the bathtub and almost throwing in the white flag and hiring a plumber, I came upon your very informative video. Glad I did! Thanks a bunch!
Turns out, for me, it was the overflow/stopping mechanism (the tab you pull to take a bath) stuck halfway or something. Had a pretty slow drain. Pulled the stopper out and it drained fine! Put it back in and I guess it's fixed now. Thanks for the demo!
I watched this video yesterday and followed his instructions. Worked perfect. The wash cloth and plastic bag worked like a champ. Draining fine now. Thanks Los Angeles
Omg. Thank you soooo much. I love to play damsel in distress and was on the verge of spending a ton on a plumber. You totally saved the day and my bank account. Thank you a million times.
That plugging trick with the towel and plastic bag was the key. I tried to plunge and after what felt like concrete got dislodged, the water flowed like it never did before. Thank you for sharing
Thanks for the video and the tip to plug "the other hole" before plunging. I have a different kind of shower drain stopper and put in drainer goo remover (bacteria/enzyme-based), too, six hours before applying the plunger. Worked like a charm. (Apparently my new hair conditioner is the culprit!)
DUDE!!! GREAT INSTRUCTIONS!! I have a prof auger and even with that I couldn't fully unclog the drain. I finally thought I'll try it your way and OMG I took a shower without ANY water at my feet!!! Thank you so much!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
A couple of years ago I unclogged my bathtub because of your video. Fast forward to today and once again I was able to unclog it because of your video. By the way I still laugh at the “babe are you going to do that while I am in here” 😂
Hi Sir. I had been working on my tub for a while with no success, got all the crud out of the bottom and plunged it still no success. I didn't know about plugging that top hole to make it airtight - did that, plunged it again - HUGH SUCCESS. The tub now makes a whirlpool. THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR KNOWLEDGE WITH US! Cheers
I want to thank you so much. I had an entire tub filled with water. Did the washcloth thing, and the gunk that came out was unbelievable. THANK YOU! It’s working better than ever.
Thank you, sir. I can't remember the last time I heard my tub draining sound like that. It sounded like a mini whirlpool or something. That plunger tip worked almost immediately.
This actually works! Took me less than 10 mins after watching this vid. Before that, I’d logged in several hours plus a drain product that didn’t quite do it. Thank you!!
Plummers say do not use Drano or Plummr liquid from the stores.That they stay causes a build up in the pipes making the lumen narrow and that causes the block.Bleach is better.I have used everything vinegar soda bic bleach the Plummers came and worked for 2 hours before it cleared.You see I live in a condo and my drainage is connected to another apt.They have to clear both sides and I have to put up with their block.
Thank you!! the trick is the seal with the rag in plastic to get a really good plunge after about 15 minutes I got it to finally go now it's time to clean the tub. Thank you and God bless man!!
I just had a plumber clear my bathtub a few weeks ago but will be using this when I need it next. (Saved to my home hacks playlist). Never seen this technique before but I can tell by the comments, it’s a good one! Thanks!
Wow I been trying to plung my tub the last hour with no results finally resorted to RUclips and clicked on this godly video my goodness with 5 seconds of plunging my tub it finally drained.... You the fing man!!!!! Thank you so much for posting this!
Thanks so much for this.. I showed this video to my husband and he repeated the steps u demonstrated and now our slow drains are resolved.. Thanks again gor this great advice 👏🏾
rcx8666c I am a woman with long hair who shares a bathroom with 2 other women with long hair and I completely agree with this sentiment. However, we have to shower too 😂
I'm actually unclogging my bath tub because my husband has curly ass hair and clogs the tub all the time -.- I have long hair but always throw my hair balls in the trash so it can really go both ways
I was plunging for hours for about a week. Tried the rag and plastic bag method after removing the top and bam, 1 minute later it started draining. Thanks a bunch
get that snake thing I use to clean out the drain here: amzn.to/2Z8WZBI
Those plastic snakes are not good for shower drains, they will break
priceandpride so what's the alternative...
K-Ameli wire hanger, or you gotta spend more for a cable snake :(
So I was missing the rag in the bag. Great video!

Why did the wife have to use a bucket to empty the water from the bathtub? Maybe the man of the house was busy watching football.
I know this is a old video, but thank you. You helped me fix my drain without having to call a plumber. A bunch of hair came out from my wife just wanted to give you props.
Brush hair before bathing and don't use cheap shampoo.
Hell yeah, it's videos like these that make youtube so amazing and the uploaders just as cool. Thank you!
Greatest yt vid I have ever seen in my life
You made me look like a man and a genius in front of my new gf 😎 thanks dude.
Yes
Shit yea. Screw paying criminals. DIY!!!
Plugging the upper drain with a washcloth was the trick!! It made my plunging more effective. 30 second fix! I didn't even have to snake the drain. Thank you!
🚿 🙌🏼
Okay maybe that’s what I need to do, plug the upper drain
Multiple bottles of the strongest drain cleaner couldn't do what this video did for me. Thank you.
Nice!
Simple, and to the point. Fixed my own drain in less than 10 minutes after going to wal-mart and buying a $3 snake. Awesome job, and awesome advice!

Finally! Bathtub draining normally after weeks and multiple attempts with draino and other brands. Who knew it was so simple. Thank you!
Oh my wow=you are so awesome,my brother!!!!! I in an apartment and the parts are old and very faulty.l no nothing about plumbing;I removed the drainer? as you demonstrated and I tried the plunger for at least an hour,oh lord help me please,oh yes,I prayed of course.God gave me the thought,"youtube".I picked u first and u showed me the magic touch;a piece of torn towel in a plastic bag to cover the hole,preventing water spewage and I tried the plunger one more time and ,BINGO!!!!!!! Thank you so much,you are a mighty blessing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! instantly the water drained,like,Moses parting the red sea!!!!!! Heck ya I am excited,I was going to have to miss work for this.God bless you,peace and protection upon you and family in Jesus~~~~~!
same plunger no go after pumping the bathtub drain many many times. was about to give up. saw this video. tried "plugging" the top pipe somewhat as instructed before pumping. BOOM. water drained again and drained well. could not believe it if i had not seen it with my own eyes. THANK YOU JRESHOW.
I was hesitate about doing this but I actually gave it a go and omg I must say you're a lifesaver. It worked like a charm. Thank you soooo much.
I was just about to give up hope on unclogging my drain myself and was getting ready to call a plumber, but I gave it one more try with the instructions from your video and the drain finally cleared!!! I am estatic. Thank you so much for sharing this.
I just did this and it worked instantly :) I've never done anything like this before but being single, living alone, forces you to save money while doing it yourself! Def works!!! (I also went the extra mile & used "Hair Clog removal" after unclogging the tub, since my hair is super long - bought all the items I needed at my local grocery store)
Bizzy Vic but that hair clog seems so dangerous I just bought it and the warnings are crazy so I'm scared to use it now
Man i got to tell you, that worked instantly. My tub drained completely. Hair balls and all. LOL. You just saved me some money. A plumber would have bent me over the tub and violated me and my wallet. LMAO..Thanks for the help sir. Its nice to have people on RUclips who actually want to help others. And save them money. Thanks again.
Thank you so much! You save my day. I was about to call a plumber. Im a single mother so now I feel proud that I did it myself. Thank you!!!!!
Erika Coronel I’m about to do the same girl
Thank you so much my bathtub was so clogged up to the point where it completely stop draining. I did your method for about 30 minutes and now it drains instantly you are a lifesaver!!!!
Whew!! 😎
Thank you! Found you after plunging and snaking our tub for 30 minutes just before we were about to go to the hardware store. Took five minutes. ❤️
Go to the hardware store for what, I thought you said you plunged and snaked your tub already?
@@iMr.Jetpacks no idea bro. That was three years ago.
If I could give 3 thumbs up I would! I tried snaking, plunging, and commercial Grade drain cleaner. NOTHING WORKED!!! But THIS, Applying pressure by plugging the hole? Worked like a charm. Saved me an arm and leg with the plumber.
YESSS THANK YOU!!!! Been dealing with a clogged drain for like a week, tried this one time and boom. Now I’m the house plumber. 🤣🤣
😂😂😂
Both my tub and bathroom sink were stopped up...thanks to this video they're working like a champ...you're the best!!!!...closing that air flow piece is genius...
Wow! Thank you for the video!! Took me less than 15 minutes to make my bathtub flow again (and even faster!). And thanks for the tips on chalking the gap. VERY helpful!
Chalking the gap?
Life and money saver! Much appreciated! After spending 2 days trying to unclog the bathtub and almost throwing in the white flag and hiring a plumber, I came upon your very informative video. Glad I did! Thanks a bunch!
Turns out, for me, it was the overflow/stopping mechanism (the tab you pull to take a bath) stuck halfway or something. Had a pretty slow drain. Pulled the stopper out and it drained fine! Put it back in and I guess it's fixed now. Thanks for the demo!
I watched this video yesterday and followed his instructions. Worked perfect. The wash cloth and plastic bag worked like a champ. Draining fine now. Thanks Los Angeles
🙌🏼🙌🏼
Omg. Thank you soooo much. I love to play damsel in distress and was on the verge of spending a ton on a plumber. You totally saved the day and my bank account. Thank you a million times.
+Tanya Mora you're welcome :)
+JRESHOW bra thank you so much I tried this shit and it worked thank you your the fucking man I'm humbled thank you
Yay
That's what the internet is for!
The Internet is for midget porn
That plugging trick with the towel and plastic bag was the key. I tried to plunge and after what felt like concrete got dislodged, the water flowed like it never did before.
Thank you for sharing
Thanks for the video and the tip to plug "the other hole" before plunging. I have a different kind of shower drain stopper and put in drainer goo remover (bacteria/enzyme-based), too, six hours before applying the plunger. Worked like a charm. (Apparently my new hair conditioner is the culprit!)
Life saver! My drain has been acting up for over a year. And drain chemicals never work. This def worked. Thank you
Just fixed a tub that has been slow draining for years! Thank you!
DUDE!!! GREAT INSTRUCTIONS!! I have a prof auger and even with that I couldn't fully unclog the drain. I finally thought I'll try it your way and OMG I took a shower without ANY water at my feet!!! Thank you so much!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
A couple of years ago I unclogged my bathtub because of your video. Fast forward to today and once again I was able to unclog it because of your video. By the way I still laugh at the “babe are you going to do that while I am in here” 😂
I truly thank God for videos like this🙏🏽💯
Thank you!
Hi Sir. I had been working on my tub for a while with no success, got all the crud out of the bottom and plunged it still no success. I didn't know about plugging that top hole to make it airtight - did that, plunged it again - HUGH SUCCESS. The tub now makes a whirlpool. THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR KNOWLEDGE WITH US! Cheers
You're very welcome! I shared because I CANNOT stand (no pun) ankle deep water! Gross!! Just trying to help :D have a good one!
I want to thank you so much. I had an entire tub filled with water. Did the washcloth thing, and the gunk that came out was unbelievable. THANK YOU! It’s working better than ever.
1:23 when he puts that screw in his mouth.....arrghh
LOL!
Eww
Wtf
I seen that! Had to rewind a couple times to see where it came from 😂 🤢
Glad I didn't see it... But I don't get why people put screws or any tool in their mouth. I'd rather lose a screw then swallow it or bite it
Thank you, sir. I can't remember the last time I heard my tub draining sound like that. It sounded like a mini whirlpool or something. That plunger tip worked almost immediately.
Good advice for easy-medium clogging. It saved my "life" today.
This actually works! Took me less than 10 mins after watching this vid. Before that, I’d logged in several hours plus a drain product that didn’t quite do it. Thank you!!
Plummers say do not use Drano or Plummr liquid from the stores.That they stay causes a build up in the pipes making the lumen narrow and that causes the block.Bleach is better.I have used everything vinegar soda bic bleach the Plummers came and worked for 2 hours before it cleared.You see I live in a condo and my drainage is connected to another apt.They have to clear both sides and I have to put up with their block.
Well 4 bottles of DrainO and now ya tell me!
Worked like a charm.
Sheeeesh that drain o must be wreaking havoc on your pipes
Thank you!! the trick is the seal with the rag in plastic to get a really good plunge after about 15 minutes I got it to finally go now it's time to clean the tub. Thank you and God bless man!!
bro after 4 years wow its still there we did this and it worked :D thank you
Dude ! This actually works ! My teenagers clogged the tube and I did I exactly as this man said , and blamo ! Clog is gone ! Thanks dude 👍🏼
Thank you so much😂 I just came out of my bath room screaming "it worked, it worked"😂😂😂😂😂
Thanks
Thank you for this amazing tip. After work on my tub for 2hrs, watched your vid and unclogged in less than 2 mins.
Thank you! One of the most helpful & easy to follow videos I have found on the subject!
I just had a plumber clear my bathtub a few weeks ago but will be using this when I need it next. (Saved to my home hacks playlist). Never seen this technique before but I can tell by the comments, it’s a good one! Thanks!
"And just plunge....that's disgusting!" 😂👍
Wow I been trying to plung my tub the last hour with no results finally resorted to RUclips and clicked on this godly video my goodness with 5 seconds of plunging my tub it finally drained.... You the fing man!!!!! Thank you so much for posting this!
Holy shit, this actually worked! You sir are a wizard!!!
Thanks so much for this.. I showed this video to my husband and he repeated the steps u demonstrated and now our slow drains are resolved.. Thanks again gor this great advice 👏🏾
YESSSSS! you are such a life saver! This worked EXTREMELY well! Thank you buddy! 😀
My slow drain worked after your simple method, apparently removing that upper piece was the key! Thank You for saving me at least 100 bucks!
KEEP WOMEN WITH LONG HAIR OUT OF YOUR BATH TUB.
THIS IS THE CHIEF CAUSE OF A CLOGGED UP BATH TUB DRAIN..
rcx8666c I am a woman with long hair who shares a bathroom with 2 other women with long hair and I completely agree with this sentiment. However, we have to shower too 😂
rcx8666c lol you got a point my hair is so long it goes to my butttt
I'm actually unclogging my bath tub because my husband has curly ass hair and clogs the tub all the time -.- I have long hair but always throw my hair balls in the trash so it can really go both ways
I'm here bcuz my gf has long hair and she clogged the darn tub. You girls need to brush your hair b4 showering. Just brush it out lol
rcx8666c You can use the strainer and that collects all the hair.
I was plunging for hours for about a week. Tried the rag and plastic bag method after removing the top and bam, 1 minute later it started draining. Thanks a bunch
Thanks so much this helped me clear my clogged drain without having to call my landlord and bother him lol thanks!
Thanks dude. Drain cleaner didn't work but your suggestions TOTALLY did in five minutes, Thanks again!
Just unclogged my tub because I watched this video :)
