1. What if the bathtub is blocked

1, the bathtub drain is blocked, you can first close the water valve, and then put the right amount of tap water in the bathtub; Place the rubber aspirator (for unclogging the toilet) on the drain valve; Close the overflow hole in the basin or bathtub while opening the drain valve; Then it quickly draws up and down, sucking out dirt or hair and cleaning it up in time. In the case of more serious blockage, it can be repeated several times until it is cleared.

2, Blockage near the bathtub drain can be addressed from multiple places – overflow, bathtub drain, or drum trap. We’ll start with the bathtub drain. If you can’t clear the blockage here, try the overflow port again, and then try the drum trap.

3, if the bathtub drain is blocked, and the rubber suction device can not be dredged, then first use the drain bend screw drill in the bathtub drain pipe outlet to dredge.

4. The use of the drain bent screw drill is as follows: remove the pop-up plug or filter screen of the blocked drain pipe, and insert the steel cable of the screw drill into the drain pipe opening. To feed the cable into the drain, turn the handle of the auger; To increase the length of the usable cable, loosen the wing screws on the handle and then tighten them. If the cable hits something, turn the screw handle while pumping back and forth. Then continue to turn the handle while slowly pulling out the auger.

Second, if the bathtub leaks

1, the plastic hose for a long time aging, holes, resulting in water leakage, change the water pipe can be.

2, the intersection of the water mouth and the bathtub, there is a gap, resulting in water leakage, the solution, dry the water mouth with a dry towel, sealed with glass glue.

3, the water pipe is not fully inserted into the drainage pipe from the bathtub, resulting in water leakage, the solution is to lift the bathtub and plug the water pipe.

4. It may be that the part of the lower water outlet and the bathtub are combined with glue, causing leakage. Carefully check, re-glue with waterproof universal adhesive for a week, and then use it after drying and cracking. There is a gap at the junction of the water outlet and the bathtub, resulting in water leakage. The solution is to dry the water outlet 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, carefully check and replace the sewer pipe. The aging of the sewer pipes, coupled with sudden cold weather, naturally froze and cracked, resulting in water seepage. Check carefully and replace the drain pipe. The aging of the ground waterproof layer causes leakage. After finding out, make the local waterproof again. The drain pipe is not fully inserted into the drain pipe under the bathtub, resulting in water leakage, the solution is to lift the bathtub and plug the drain pipe.

It can be seen that the bathtub blockage treatment needs to be investigated. If the bathtub drain is blocked, and the rubber suction device can not be dredged, then the drain elbow screw is first drilled in the bathtub drain port to dredge.
