Blocked Drains York

Are you experiencing issues with your bathtub drain in York? Is the water taking too long to drain or is the drain completely clogged? Before calling a professional drainage service, you can try to remove the bathtub plug to clean the drain yourself. In this article, we will guide you through the process of removing a bathtub plug and cleaning the drain.

The bathtub drain assembly typically consists of a stopper or plug, a linkage, and a drain pipe. The stopper is usually connected to a linkage that controls the opening and closing of the drain. To remove the plug, you will need to understand how the assembly works.

There are different types of stoppers used in bathtub drains, including:

• Pop-up stoppers: These are the most common type of stopper and are operated by a knob or handle.
• Toe-operated stoppers: These are operated by a toe tap or a lever.
• Trip-lever stoppers: These are operated by a lever or a handle.

To remove the plug, follow these steps:

1. Pop-up stoppers: Pull the knob or handle upwards to release the stopper. You may need to twist the knob or handle to release the stopper.
2. Toe-operated stoppers: Press the toe tap or lever to release the stopper.
3. Trip-lever stoppers: Pull the lever or handle upwards to release the stopper.
   Once the stopper is removed, you will be able to access the drain pipe.

Use a drain snake or plumber's auger to clean the drain pipe. Feed the snake into the drain pipe and rotate it as you push it further into the pipe. This will help to break up any blockages or debris in the pipe.

Once you have cleaned the drain, reassemble the drain assembly in the reverse order of how you disassembled it. Make sure that all parts are securely attached to prevent leaks.
