Clogged Tub Drain? We'll Clear It Fast.

Our $99 service fee applies toward the work. A typical tub drain clog (hair and soap scum at the trap or overflow) is a straightforward job. If we find a deeper blockage in the branch line or stack, we show you and give an itemized quote before continuing.

Almost always hair and soap scum building up inside the trap and drain. Kids' bath toys, loose strands of floss, and even small objects can also catch in the trap. Chemical drain cleaners sometimes break down the blockage short-term but damage pipes over time — we don't recommend them.

You can try: remove the overflow plate and pop-out stopper, pull visible hair out with a drain claw or bent coat hanger. If the water still won't drain, the clog is past the trap and you need professional tools. Don't use chemical drain cleaners — they corrode pipes and aren't effective on hair/soap buildup.

No — in 95%+ of cases we clear tub drains through the existing drain opening or overflow. The only time we'd need access is a structural pipe problem behind the wall, and we'd tell you about that before doing anything. Camera inspection first, plan second.

Different stages of the same problem. Slow drains mean buildup is narrowing the pipe — it will eventually clog fully. Clearing it early is cheaper and less damaging than waiting for a backup.
