This video shows how to unclog a slow draining bathtub drain. On many cases, homeowners can accomplish this task with very little effort using very simple tools. Here are the tools you'll need. A Phillips screwdriver. Needle those pliers. And depending on your tub, you might also benefit from some channel lock pliers and a flashlight. Let's get started. The first hold-up many people come across is how to take off the stopper. And many cases it's loose, but still attached and there are no screws visible. In some cases it's just a matter of securing the stopper with some channel locks and unscrewing the top. But if that doesn't work, chances are there's a hidden screw under the stopper. And using a flashlight, locate the screw under the top of the stopper. Then use the Phillips screwdriver to back out the screw. Now be careful here. You don't want to remove the screw completely as you might drop it down the drain. As you're backing out the screw, pull up lightly on the stopper at the same time. And when the screw has been backed out far enough, the stopper should lift right off. Now once the stopper is removed, look down the drain. This is our, you'll see a collection of hair, which is slowing down the draining of the tub. Get out your needle nose pliers and remove the hair and any other debris. It's pretty gross. But now the drain should be all clear. Then screw the stopper back on. Fill up the tub with water and then drain. And it should now drain faster. You're done. Now if this doesn't work, you could also try a mixture of vinegar and baking soda to break up the clog, washing it down with boiling water. Now if that doesn't help, you may need to hire a plumber to come out and take a look at it.
