The Ultimate Handyman will show you step by step how to unclog a bathtub drain. He also talks about what usually clogs the drain and what tools to use.
Jesus H Christ THANK YOU FOR THIS !!! my bath tub was clogged for a long while !!!! I watched countless videos and didn’t wanna buy and tools or call a Plummer because I’m broke and lazy and your video just saved my life… I can take a shower without the water/dirt buildup…. Literally feel like I just won a mill thank you thank you thank you thank you
I used this method last night and it worked unbelievably!! The only problem was the wife had to run all over town looking for wire coat hanger. Finally went to the local dry cleaners and they gave her 1. Thank you for your tutorial on this.
Thank you for the video. Just cleaned out a drain that has been neglected for 5 years, used by two teenage girls. Omg I had no idea what I was getting into!! SO thankful for the suggestion to use a mask and gloves or I would not have been able to complete the job. LoL Only wish I'd had Blake helping me out. :)
Wow! Awesome video and a God send. For six months my tub drain became slower and slower. Last night, my wife almost slipped in the soapy water, and asked if I could please check it for clogged hair. Found your video, the only metal coat hanger in the house, 5 minutes later, running free.
Thank you for this video my son’s bath tub is now clogged free. Just took that metal hanger from my dry clean. And followed as per your video. Very helpful and easy to do.
your son sounds like a good kid to have around ,also seems to keep you busy with all the questions a right little chatter box lol,a good bit of advice there with unclogging the tub cheers
Oh, my gosh. I can't THANK YOU ENOUGH for this! My drain wouldn't take water no matter what. I dumped two full bottles of Drano over the course of a few days, and still nothing. After watching your video, I decided to remove the drain stopper in my bathtub. Mine look nearly exactly like yours! There was soap scum and clearly long strands of my hair. I grabbed the hanger and got to work. Holy bejesus. My strand was so long that I looked like a magician pulling endless handkerchiefs out of a hat. I almost wish you saw the picture I took, but this stuff was so disgusting. My bathtub was unclogged in less than 10 minutes. I don't have to call my landlord! Thank you SO MUCH! This is my go-to method now, haha!
My tub drain is clogged again, and my man did try a coat hanger , but not twrilling it soooo ill try your method. Yes i do have long hair ...n your right i do need to buy 1 of those hair catcher gadgets. Good to see father, and son working. together. Thanks for sharing.☺
I've been fighting with this stupid clogged bathtub for 2 months. I've tried all kinds of tips and tricks but nothing worked. You are awsome !!!!!! Your tip worked beautifully. Thank you so much for uploading this. 100 % , this worked for me.
The drain weasel gadgets are really handy but they are one use and can be expensive over time, plus the plastic ones are REALLY flexible and it’s easy to lose control of them bc they whip around too easily which is 🤢. This is great and appreciate the info, I’m a new subscriber now. Your helper is awesome too ❤ I have a metal gadget on my tub now, it has like a basket and a stopper on it, it definitely stops most of the hair at the surface. It has to be cleaned daily, but it sure beats clearing out something that’s been sitting in a drain.
Damn!!!! The plunger worked 😀😀😀😀. I bought my condo two years ago and the drain was horrible so I had it professionally unplugged. And though I use a hair catcher, and I'm the only one who lives here, the water has slowly been building up again. I just did the plunger and it works. Of course it was not severely clogged but I don't want to wait for it to get to that point. Thank you!!! 😀😀😀😀.
Thanks so much! Last time it took 2 people and over 4 hours to unclog my bathtub, but following your video today it only took 10 minutes with no chemicals required
@@TheUltimateHandymanKyle Great team work gentlemen. I will take your helpers advice and Do This every week🤗🥳💝 Those Floppy Drain catchers don't always sit or Fit correctly. Thanks y'all From Texas
Thank you! My hook was all wrong . After fussing for about an hour - pulling stray hair and sludge.. I was able to unclog in 5 minutes!! now my drain is free from about a pound of hair! Many many Thanks 😊
I did this same thing last year at my timeshare. The tub backed up constantly the last several visits. Maintenance staff must have simply plunged and used Drano or such because it kept recurring. When I did this I pulled out a footlong snake of hair and the drain flowed freely. Pop-up drain stoppers are a particular problem as the mechanism down in the drain catches a few hairs that then catch a few more and gradually it grows into one of these masses. Keep an eye on your vent stacks as well. Birds, wasps, and other critters can build nests that restrict air flow. I once even had bullfrogs nesting inside mine. They got in from an inverted J-bend at ground level on an aux. stack behind the house. I discovered this when I actually saw a big fat one hop up into the access. This can cause drains to slow down more than you would ever imagine. I covered the pipe openings with wire screen, top and ground level, and the problem ended.
Thanks so much ! this video helped me so much , but i entered that wire not from the bottom of the tub, i entered it from the other side, and i pulled up a bouch of hair , and the water inmediately star running, Thanks a lot for that video , i really appreciate it.
I cracked up the first time your kid said “oh, god!” With utter disgust and fascination 😂😂😂 That’s exactly how I feel every time I snake my drain. It’s oddly satisfying and I appreciate the homemade snake. I’ll have to try that!
Kudos for having your kid involved! Years ago when faced with unplugging the drain the grizzled ex-E3 I worked for told me (slightly edited)“get your hand in there! It’s not going to hurt you and it’s not going to unclog itself!”
I try to teach the kids how to do things around the house. I don't want them growing up to be useless. Somethings people send down the drain might kill you.
A good pair of long, needle nose pliers works the best! Been using em for yrs to unclog the shower drains. A little more work, but they do an awesome job!
I just did what u just did this morning and yea the longer u go the more dirt and grime stains ur tub and u got to break an elbow just to get the tub back white
Thanks.These are hard to come by now with all the fancy new space saving ones they make. My wife got rid of all the metal ones. You could buy a drain Weasel or find a metal Rod and bend it over like the coat hanger.
Super-long haired, plumber-by-necessity here! Thank you for your video! You seem to be removing hair trapped straight down, whereas my bathtub drain appears shallow, but veers off to the right.... Hard to maneuver a coat hanger around the cross-bar piece..... Any advice?
The hair is usually hung up on that cross bar and if you hook the hanger on the first inch of hair going in the drain and twist it makes the hair like a rope and it’s easier to pull out in one piece. Try making the bend on the end of the hanger smaller if it’s hard to get in the drain.
I have a couple of grandchildren and a daughter with long hair so this is an ongoing problem. I am constantly reminding them to simply brush their hair out before they shower and bathe. Brushing and, or combining your hair prior to bathing reduces this problem considerably; if you can actually get them to do it.
To be fair it's not ideal for many hair types to brush when hair isn't wet. I can only do it well when I have conditioner. However, it is possible to gather hair as it would go down drain pretty easily (catches on back/legs/thighs first) and it definitely helps to brush well before rinsing out conditioner as most of the loose hair will then be caught in the brush. I recommend a tub schroom or similar hair catcher to prevent clogs.
I just used our wet vac. But I unscrewed lever and pulled it up a few inches. I think that was stopping it from being sucked up by the vac. After I did that I sucked up a big hairball which looked like a mouse.
My shower was backing up and I didn't do anything about it until the water level was getting up to my ankles by the end of it. I went in there one day with a plunger, turned the shower on and started working the drain (this gross black stuff came back up). It took 30 seconds to maybe a minute which isn't long but is a lot of plunging before the water suddenly started drained away.
Some unscrew and some have a set screw that hold them on. The set screw could be an Allen screw or Phillips/flat. Let me know how it goes. You’ll have to look or feel on the underside of the stopper to see if there is a screw.
Hi, for a kitchen drain pipe to be blocked with abit of oil n grease..how long does the build up take to block the drain? over time, like afew years or say 12 month? I moved in a house, after afew days, i noticed water in the tub was draining slowly..
It’s different for every house. It all depends on how much grease was put down the drain and what pipes the house has. If it has ABS or PVC it would take longer to block than cast iron or galvanized piping witch can corrode on the inside causing it to build up faster. Best bet is to not put any grease or oil down the drain. If it does get clogged you can pick up a cheep drain snake and clean it out. For the tub it’s most likely clogged In the first 1’ of the drain. If the method in the video doesn’t work try a drain snake that will go deeper in the pipe. You might have to take off the over flow on the tub and put the snake down that pipe. Good luck with your project. Sorry I can’t give you an exact Timeframe
I have long hair and used to get clogs. But the last time I removed a clog I didn't replace the stopper. Now after every shower I just reach in and pull the hair off the metal cross bars with my fingers. It's not gross or smelly because the only hair is what just went down the drain. Haven't had a clog since (years).
I live with three long haired girls. Really long hair. I don't know how this became my monthly task but it should be negotiable like killing spiders and taking out the trash.
Pulling the nastay hair out of the drain is way worse than killing spiders and taking out the trash. You should make all girls watch this video. Give them a coat hanger and tell them to clean out their own hair.
I hope you can tell me. Do all shower drains have the criss-cross gaurd, in them? Because, I don't see that in mine. Maybe, it is down further, out of sight?
Every tub drain I’ve seen had the cross bars on them. A shower drain usually has some type of grate on it. Yours could be missing on the shower or if it’s a tub the cross bars could have corroded out if it’s a super old house. If you can share a picture of the drain than I can tell you what’s going on with it. They also might have made them with no bars in older homes.
In a bathroom where there is no grease only hair to stop up a drain I use Clorox. A cup full down the drain will do. In a few minute all hair is gone and the drain is clear. Clorox will not hurt your pipes. This is the cheapest and fastest way to unclog a drain in a bathroom.
Thank you. Mine I can’t see it must be pretty far. I have a thin snake way too thin doesn’t work. And it goes pretty far without pressure the hair. I don’t know how to get it. I’ve bought a lot of drano. Did work for a week now nothing is working. Helpppp
If you wash your hair in bath buy a strainer so as use it no need to plug it it will help keep help hair on it not down it and then when finish put it in bin then cover hole again till plug for bath like a mini sieve
I normally don’t put the hanger in so deep because the hair is caught on the cross bars on the drain. Can you see hair on it?

@@TheUltimateHandymanKyle thank you for your help. I actually unscrewed the u bend thing under the bath because my plug hole has a couple of cross bars making it very difficult to get anything bigger than a coat hanger down it. But worked out the blockage is much further along the pipe so tried a 3m snake thing, nothing so will get a 10 metre !!
Also I want to change my plug hole with multiple long haired teenagers in the house I want one of those catchers that drops IN the plug hole. Don’t suppose you have a video how to change it? 🙊
Jesus H Christ THANK YOU FOR THIS !!! my bath tub was clogged for a long while !!!! I watched countless videos and didn’t wanna buy and tools or call a Plummer because I’m broke and lazy and your video just saved my life… I can take a shower without the water/dirt buildup….

The drain weasel works good. It’s a pain to clean the hair off of it. You can cut the hair off with a razor knife.
You gave amazing help to me!!! Saved me $$! Thank you!
Glad I was able to help.
Great idea with the hanger. Thank you
Thanks you could buy a tool that does the same thing but it’s always good to save money when you can.
Loved Blake's comments
Great job. Thank you for your time and effort to make this video and share it with us. Greetings from Croatia.

I just did what u just did this morning and yea the longer u go the more dirt and grime stains ur tub and u got to break an elbow just to get the tub back white
It was hard to clean , a lot of scrubbing to get the dark ring of grim off. After scrubbing get it back to white.
Worked like a magic 🪄

Thank You, I appreciate your suggestion and it did help me tremendously. I have 3 daughters and oh lord I was flabbergasted by the amount of hair…
Glad it was helpful! Its amazing how much hair will build up over time.

Great tip. What if you have an old style drain that has a grate over the face?
Does it have a screw in the center? I would remove it then clean everything out
In bathtub drain is always long hair is absolutely right.
Along with skin and soapy residue.
Very true. Thanks for watching
Unclogged the bathroom sink thanks to this and didn’t have to call the super. Thanks UH!!!

Equal parts revolting and oh so satisfying.
I agree
All that clogged hair could make a hair monster with that 🤣
yay
For all the Kiwi cuzzy-bros in New Zealand: finally we use a coat hanger for something other than a car aerial (antenna for car radio) 😋
Who uses a radio these days?
I just used our wet vac. But I unscrewed lever and pulled it up a few inches. I think that was stopping it from being sucked up by the vac. After I did that I sucked up a big hairball which looked like a mouse.

Well at least you got the water to go down. Was there hair in the drain?

You might have to take off the tub overflow and put a snake down that. Does the overflow have a lever for the internal tub stopper?
The way our "Soaker Tub" drain is made, I can't fit ANY size Snak Head, that Home Depot carries, past the drain. Would this be my alternative?
You can try my method or you can buy a drain weasel tool that might fit down there
Good job!!! Did it try to bite you?
Thanks. It sure looks like it would.

yes he's always cracking me up with the comments he makes.

I actually unscrewed the u bend thing under the bath because my plug hole has a couple of cross bars making it very difficult to get anything bigger than a coat hanger down it. But worked out the blockage is much further along the pipe so tried a 3m snake thing, nothing so will get a 10 metre !!
Also I want to change my plug hole with multiple long haired teenagers in the house I want one of those catchers that drops IN the plug hole. Don’t suppose you have a video how to change it? 🙊
I got a lot of crap snaked out but water won’t drain at all. At all. Have to use buckets 😢
You might have to take off the over flow and run a snake down there. I wish you luck. Let us know how it goes.
