Once your drain is clear, keep it that way:

Water pools around your feet during a shower or takes several minutes to empty after a bath.

Before a drain stops completely, it often gives several warning signs:

Sometimes the clog isn't deep in the pipe; it's caught on the drain stopper itself.

If the clog is deep within the pipe, a hand-crank drain snake can break through or hook onto the blockage.

: Unscrew the drain cover or lift the stopper.

: This is the most important step for a bathtub. Cover the overflow opening (the small hole near the top of the tub) with duct tape or a damp cloth to ensure the suction stays focused on the drain.
