1. What to do if the bathtub is blocked
1. The bathtub drain pipe is blocked, you can close the drain valve first, and then put an appropriate amount of tap water in the bathtub; place the rubber suction device (for dredging the toilet) on the drain valve; while opening the drain valve, the stuffy Cover the overflow hole of the basin or bathtub; then quickly suck up and down to suck out the dirt or hair and clean it up in time. In the case of serious blockage, it can be repeated several times until it is cleared.
2. A blockage that occurs near the bathtub drain can be addressed in several places—the overflow, the bathtub drain, or the drum trap. We start with the tub drain. If you can’t unclog the blockage here, try the overflow again, then try the drum trap.
3. If the drain pipe of the bathtub is blocked and cannot be cleared with a rubber suction device, first use the drain elbow screw drill to clear the drain pipe at the mouth of the bathtub.
4. The method of using the auger for draining the elbow is as follows: Remove the pop-up plug or filter screen of the blocked drain pipe, and insert the steel cable of the auger into the mouth of the drain pipe. To feed the soft cable into the drain, turn the handle of the auger; to increase the length of usable cable, loosen and then tighten the thumbscrew on the handle. If the cable hits something, turn the auger handle while pumping it back and forth. Then continue to turn the handle while slowly pulling the auger out.
Second, if the bathtub leaks
1. The plastic sewer hose has been aging for a long time and has holes, resulting in water leakage. Just replace the sewer hose.
2. There is a gap at the junction of the drain and the bathtub, causing water leakage. The solution is to dry the drain with a dry towel and seal it with glass glue.
3. The sewer pipe is not fully inserted into the drain pipe from the floor under the bathtub, resulting in water leakage. The solution is to lift the bathtub and insert the sewer pipe.
4. It may be that the joint between the drain and the bathtub is glued, causing leakage. Check carefully, and re-glue it with waterproof all-purpose glue for a week, and then use it after the cracks are dry and sealed. There is a gap at the junction of the drain and the bathtub, causing water leakage. The solution is to dry the drain with a dry towel and seal it with glass glue.
5. It may be that you accidentally broke the sewer pipe when cleaning the blockage. Check carefully and replace the sewer pipe. The sewer pipes are old and aging, and the weather is suddenly cold, which naturally freezes and cracks, causing water seepage. Check carefully and replace the downpipe. The ground waterproof layer is aging, causing leakage. After finding out, re-waterproof the part. The sewer pipe is not fully inserted into the drain pipe from the floor under the bathtub, resulting in water leakage. The solution is to lift the bathtub and insert the sewer pipe.
