get that snake thing I use to clean out the drain here: amzn.to/2Z8WZBI
Those plastic snakes are not good for shower drains, they will break
priceandpride so what's the alternative...
K-Ameli wire hanger, or you gotta spend more for a cable snake :(
So I was missing the rag in the bag. Great video!
Brother, this snake for sink and light thing to take out, you need this www.amazon.com/dp/B07QZZ8FWP/ref=sspa_dk_detail_5?psc=1&pd_rd_i=B07QZZ8FWP&pd_rd_w=inoaI&pf_rd_p=c83c55b0-5d97-454a-a592-a891098a9709&pd_rd_wg=cmHX3&pf_rd_r=STE8AGMGKSAP7JPB3RB8&pd_rd_r=fc9f04ff-55c6-4899-a82b-00582ad96de0&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEyVVFMWFZHS0FWN1dZJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwODE1NjUwM0xZV1lENU1QVUtTMyZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwOTg4MjU5M0lSMEVUTTZRWVMyNiZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX2RldGFpbF90aGVtYXRpYyZhY3Rpb249Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU=
My bathtub has been taking over half a day to drain. It's been absolutely horrible for a family of five. It took me less than fifteen minutes to do this. Thank you so very much.
Right now I'm having problems with mine
Please help
Same, I have a large family of 8 and I swear my tub is clogged solid atleast 4 times a year. I'm going to try this method rn because I'm sick of fighting with this slow moving drain again and again!

7 YEARS LATER FOR AMAZING HELP TO MY BATHTUB, MAY GOD BLESS HIM! PSALM 9:16
Honestly !🙌🏼
8 Years Later👀True Legend
Thank you from YVR here
8 years
This is the type of video that keeps $100 in your wallet. 8 years later (2022) and it's still a great video. Thank you for sharing your time and knowledge.
"babe are you going to do that while I'm in here?"
"noOoo..."
That was actually hilarious :D
😩😂😂😂
LOL THAT WAS THE FIRST THING I NOTICED TO( STILL LAUGHING AND GAMBLING THAT THERE ARE TONS OF PPL WHO NOTICED THAT)
OBAMA HATER That was the best scene I’ve ever seen in a tutorial.
That was funny.
lmao this guy got a sense of humour and taught me how to drain my bathtub 😂
Hell yeah, it's videos like these that make youtube so amazing and the uploaders just as cool. Thank you!
Greatest yt vid I have ever seen in my life
You made me look like a man and a genius in front of my new gf 😎 thanks dude.
Yes
Shit yea. Screw paying criminals. DIY!!!
HOLY SHIT! I did this and pulled out the biggest, thickest, most disgusting glob of gunky hair I've ever seen!! Bathtub drains smoother than ever now. Thank you!!
Glory to God this worked! Popped out hair and a little baby doll my daughters dropped down drain. Thank you for posting this!!!
I unclogged my own bath tub after watching this and it worked. Thank you for this. However, you failed to mention a side-effect of this procedure.... a general feeling of AWESOMENESS :)
Thanks again!
rio197 yesssss lol
same here. it took plunging for a while but eventually a huge ball of hair came back up. thanks to author of video.
Yay!!
I love it!
I read this comment before I started and after I finished I “ felt this”
I wants to thank you so very much for helping us with your tips, we were without a working tub for 1 month, no money to pay a plumber... I bought only God knows haw many different acid products to try unclog our bathtub and nothing, absolutely nothing worked! My wife was exhausted of having to pull water out with a bucket to dispense in the toilet after the kids shower... You have no idea how thankful we are to you and your video, from the bottom of our hearts: THANK YOU!!!! God bless!!!! Leandro & Claudia, Burlington, NC
I'm glad it helped :)
Wow so this actually works? I may have to try this tomorrow when the water finally goes out. My cousins destroyed the drain. It was working fine a week ago. An than came back from the lake and they got it so disgusting that it takes HOURS to drain like nearly 24 hours. I spent at least 8 hours in the bathroom taking a plunger hoping it would go down. An it rarely ever did. So I got tired of doing that and just put a roll of paper towels into it to soak all that nasty water up. I can't wait to try this out. Hopefully a clown doesn't get me at the end of that drain lol
Try this font wanna work any help
god bless
Why did the wife have to use a bucket to empty the water from the bathtub? Maybe the man of the house was busy watching football.
I know this is a old video, but thank you. You helped me fix my drain without having to call a plumber. A bunch of hair came out from my wife just wanted to give you props.
Brush hair before bathing and don't use cheap shampoo.
A couple of years ago I unclogged my bathtub because of your video. Fast forward to today and once again I was able to unclog it because of your video. By the way I still laugh at the “babe are you going to do that while I am in here” 😂
I tried plunging it without unscrewing anything and it immediately fixed. That's magic.
Same here
Double same
Thank you so much!! I just stopped my husband from calling the plumber and followed your directions ( whilst hubs talked crap the whole time behind me because I don't know what I'm doing 🙄) and not only did you help me fix my completely clogged drain but I also got to do the " in yo face" dance 😂😂 great instructional video a million thank yous!!
Leah Doyle love this 😂😂
love and marriage
the battle is on going
Ha! That's awesome! 😄
Thanks for this man, I was a bit skeptical at first because I had been giving the tub the ol' Plunger for about 45 minutes. That tip to create pressure by sealing the top cap is so great! Saved me a call to the plumbers and made my family proud at me. Cheers!
Simple, and to the point. Fixed my own drain in less than 10 minutes after going to wal-mart and buying a $3 snake. Awesome job, and awesome advice!
Just did this to the shower in my apt, after 2 bottles of draino, and plunging to no avail. This video rescued me. Although gross, works like a charm. Thank you !
Ya, I gotta hand it to you, the whole washcloth in the baggie worked for me. I must have spent over 40 bucks on the drain clog solution gel stuff that never worked. It was clogged for 2 good weeks! Thanks so much for the video!
There's another way, which just tried myself. After you clean any hair from the strainer, pour a 1/4 cup of baking soda into the drain, then add a cup of white vinegar. Baking soda and vinegar react with each other and this will loosen buildup in the drain pipe. Let it sit for 15 minutes. Once the time's up, have a kettle filled with water, brought to a boil and pour it in the drain. You can also pour a kettle full of boiling water down the drain before the baking soda and vinegar. Just did that and my bathtub drains great now.
Plugging the upper drain with a washcloth was the trick!! It made my plunging more effective. 30 second fix! I didn't even have to snake the drain. Thank you!
🚿 🙌🏼
You may never see this comment, but thank you so much! Your technique worked! I was tired of waiting for someone else (husband) to fix the chronically slow drain for me so I researched, tried a million things that didn't work, and finally found this video. I fixed the drain myself and couldn't be happier! Girl power! ✊
Thank you so much😂 I just came out of my bath room screaming "it worked, it worked"😂😂😂😂😂
Thanks
I would like to give props to this guy here. I tried everything except calling a plumber. 1minute of plugging the hole and plunger and the water flowed right out. Thanks 👍😊
I literally cannot thank you enough for sharing this. You saved a young single homeowner from what I'm guessing wouldve been at least ~$150 plumber bill. Thank you and bless you!!
What is the point of plugging the socket?
Thank you so much for this tutorial! I have never enjoyed a shower so much as the one I just took after following your instructions. I have been on shower strike for days trying to get my partner to fix the drain, but finally caved. YOU JUST SAVED A RELATIONSHIP.
How's your guy's relationship now 😂
@@westvirg304 right?! I'm invested 😂
Hahahahha fr tho. How’s the relationship
Or just fix it yourself.
our tub has been clogged for ages, and we've tried everything we could think of to unclog it. this technique did the job in minutes! it was amazing! thank you!!!
I'm not even going to lie...I was skeptical that this would work. Funny enough, this COMPLETELY solved the issue!!! I'm not even a plumbler, handywoman, carpernter, etc. and was looking through UA-cam trying to brace myself for some of the work that looked a bit complex. This method was very simple and TOTALLY EFEFCTIVE! THANK YOU THANK YOU! This saved me some coins and solved the problem that looked to be worsening.
I had been fighting with my bathtub drain for a year and a half, watching UA-cam videos all the while. Then today I found your video and now my drain is fixed thank you so much for posting this video.
1:23 when he puts that screw in his mouth.....arrghh
LOL!
Eww
Wtf
I seen that! Had to rewind a couple times to see where it came from 😂 🤢
Glad I didn't see it... But I don't get why people put screws or any tool in their mouth. I'd rather lose a screw then swallow it or bite it
I’ve been working on my tub for a WEEK now. Obsessing about it upset I cannot take a good enough shower because of slow draining water. And I tried this, and it worked. Thank you from the absolute bottom of my heart.
I've been fighting my drain for 3 weeks now, THANK YOU SO MUCH!! Finally i am clog free, no more emptying by hand!!
If you’re reading this, don’t be scared to try this, I tryed and tryed for hours to try and unclog my tub and then watched this video! BOOM like magic!!!! No joke 2 plunges and it drained and didn’t clog back up I was so close to spending $100 on a Plummer
WOW! I've been sick and tired of my bathtub clogging every second month and then trying half a dozen things and eventually having to call a plumber. I tried this and it took me literally less than 3 minutes from start to finish to unclog my tub! This is INCREDIBLE! Thanks so much for sharing!
^THIS!^ This fixed my mess. You can really tell the difference when you plunge the clog with the overflow drain open vs plugged up. It fights you when the air has nowhere to go! TYSVM, JRESHOW!!!
I watched this video yesterday and followed his instructions. Worked perfect. The wash cloth and plastic bag worked like a champ. Draining fine now. Thanks Los Angeles
🙌🏼🙌🏼
I truly thank God for videos like this🙏🏽💯
Thank you!
YESSS THANK YOU!!!! Been dealing with a clogged drain for like a week, tried this one time and boom. Now I’m the house plumber. 🤣🤣
😂😂😂
My dude....THANK YOU for the part about the towel/washcloth in the bag! That was PERFECT! I’ve always had trouble getting a seal on that top drain pipe because ours sits in there loose. Hats off to you good sir!
I'M A 150 YEAR OLD WOMAN WITH A BRAZILLIAN BUTT LIFT, I TOOK A MASSIVE CRAP IN THE BATHTUB AND IT CLOGGED THE DRAIN!! COMING TO UA-cam FOR ADVICE AND THANKS SO MUCH I WAS ABLE TO UNCLOG THE DRAIN!!!
3am and I got up to try this trick. Took 5 minutes or less and problem solved. Thank you kind sir.
Great video for a plumbing noob like myself. I came home to find my bathtub with about 4 inches of sitting water. We just had a plumber out here for another project a couple days ago and I was not looking forward to having him come out again. Quick Google search led me to this video and 10 minutes later, all the water has drained and we're all good and back to normal. Thanks bro!
Thank you! Found you after plunging and snaking our tub for 30 minutes just before we were about to go to the hardware store. Took five minutes. ❤️
Go to the hardware store for what, I thought you said you plunged and snaked your tub already?
@@iMr.Jetpacks no idea bro. That was three years ago.
Just unclogged my daughter’s bathtub!! Thank you!!!
I'm 70 and was able to do this. I'm sooo happy it wotked !! Thank you
Omg. Thank you soooo much. I love to play damsel in distress and was on the verge of spending a ton on a plumber. You totally saved the day and my bank account. Thank you a million times.
+Tanya Mora you're welcome :)
+JRESHOW bra thank you so much I tried this shit and it worked thank you your the fucking man I'm humbled thank you
Yay
That's what the internet is for!
The Internet is for midget porn
An extra tidbit that works for me is when you are plunging the drain, pull the plunger off as hard as you can. It will pull a bunch of the gunk up and out so you don't just rinse it back down the drain. Instead clean it up with your towel and bag. Awesome video worked for me.
My man!!!! It worked. I tried Draino, liquid plumber, a little hair rod pipe cleaner thingy...nothing worked. I watch this, get the plunger and boom! You just saved me a call to a plumber and who knows how much money!! Thanks!!
It worked like a charm. To anyone who tries this and is discouraged when it doesnt work right away, just reply and keep trying. It took me like 15 mins but then it just started draining. I almost gave up
This worked so well, huge thank you! 8 years later still helping people unclog their tubs
This worked well. I bought an "old school" plunger ($2.67 at Walmart) and think I found an effective solution to the "rag in a bag" plug for the vertical opening under the faucet. I used three strips of Gorilla tape, however duct tape might be as effective, over the hole after removing the chrome plated cover. In doing so I was able to generate maximum pressure for breaking up the clog.
On some tubs the device under the faucet serves a dual function: drain stopper and air intake. On my tub, it is simply for air intake to allow the water to drain more quickly from the tub. That said, once you believe you've effectively cleared the clog, the rate of draining will increase once the tape, or plug, is removed from the hole beneath the faucet.
5 years later and here I am. So, I came home to 3 inches or so in tub. Okay pulled up this video. Previous clogs have been unclogged with a long zip tie. Not working this time. My drain is a turn down to close it, so could not take that off. Took off cap below the spout and put the long zip tie in it and the water started draining out. Nothing gross was pulled out. Woohoo, clean tub again. Thank you so much from South Carolina.
THANK YOU SO MUCH! My bathtub got clogged and I thought that I may have to go buy something or hire someone. But this vid was extremely helpful and I uncloggged my drain in 5 minutes! This is an Eyewitness Account, this technique works!
This was extremely helpful! My shower has had slow drainage for months and this week it was completely clogged. I was about to call my landlord but then I found your video. I followed your instructions and it drains perfectly now. Thank you!
Thank you so much! We were focused on the drain, with no idea we should remove the other part and voila - standing water drained instantly. The piece was worn and needed to be replaced. You saved us having to deal with landlord, plumber, waiting, etc. Also, you vindicated me because the man was blaming my "long strands of hair" for it.
Life and money saver! Much appreciated! After spending 2 days trying to unclog the bathtub and almost throwing in the white flag and hiring a plumber, I came upon your very informative video. Glad I did! Thanks a bunch!
same plunger no go after pumping the bathtub drain many many times. was about to give up. saw this video. tried "plugging" the top pipe somewhat as instructed before pumping. BOOM. water drained again and drained well. could not believe it if i had not seen it with my own eyes. THANK YOU JRESHOW.
Oh my wow=you are so awesome,my brother!!!!! I in an apartment and the parts are old and very faulty.l no nothing about plumbing;I removed the drainer? as you demonstrated and I tried the plunger for at least an hour,oh lord help me please,oh yes,I prayed of course.God gave me the thought,"youtube".I picked u first and u showed me the magic touch;a piece of torn towel in a plastic bag to cover the hole,preventing water spewage and I tried the plunger one more time and ,BINGO!!!!!!! Thank you so much,you are a mighty blessing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! instantly the water drained,like,Moses parting the red sea!!!!!! Heck ya I am excited,I was going to have to miss work for this.God bless you,peace and protection upon you and family in Jesus~~~~~!
Thank you so much! You save my day. I was about to call a plumber. Im a single mother so now I feel proud that I did it myself. Thank you!!!!!
Erika Coronel I’m about to do the same girl
My freaking hero. Thanks for this video. I've been plunging the drain for two days, bought a snake, drano, and exasperated, I look on UA-cam. This solved the problem, first try. Great video.
This is my first time to comment, I think this guy deserves it, my bathtub was clogged almost 7 days, I tried almost everything, but when I tried after seeing this videos it didn’t take me 30 seconds.
Thank you so much
I wish I could thank you personally because this worked like a charm!! My drain was draining really slow before it clogged and now the water goes down, with no problem. Thank you very much!!
"And just plunge....that's disgusting!" 😂👍
Omg!! Thank you!! It worked!! I can shower tonight!! My tub has been plugged slow draining for two weeks. I've waited to see if the "man" of the house would get around to fixing it. One week in he says is it because of your hair? What?! No. Because it gets caught in the drain and i clean it out. I realize he's been manscaping in the shower!! Well he had the nerve to do it again today. And i said how am i going to shower he told me to bucket out the water and clean it he doesn't have time. So I am STILL "the man" my side friend who is actually a plumber will be proud. You're awesome. So glad I found you🙏 ok, off to 🚿 now
Good for you! Don’t let him forget it either 🤣
That plugging trick with the towel and plastic bag was the key. I tried to plunge and after what felt like concrete got dislodged, the water flowed like it never did before.
Thank you for sharing
I just did this and it worked instantly :) I've never done anything like this before but being single, living alone, forces you to save money while doing it yourself! Def works!!! (I also went the extra mile & used "Hair Clog removal" after unclogging the tub, since my hair is super long - bought all the items I needed at my local grocery store)
Bizzy Vic but that hair clog seems so dangerous I just bought it and the warnings are crazy so I'm scared to use it now
Turns out, for me, it was the overflow/stopping mechanism (the tab you pull to take a bath) stuck halfway or something. Had a pretty slow drain. Pulled the stopper out and it drained fine! Put it back in and I guess it's fixed now. Thanks for the demo!
Something as simple as unclogging my tub really made my day so thank you internet friends :D 💛
Thank you, sir. I can't remember the last time I heard my tub draining sound like that. It sounded like a mini whirlpool or something. That plunger tip worked almost immediately.
Thanks for the video and the tip to plug "the other hole" before plunging. I have a different kind of shower drain stopper and put in drainer goo remover (bacteria/enzyme-based), too, six hours before applying the plunger. Worked like a charm. (Apparently my new hair conditioner is the culprit!)
I was hesitate about doing this but I actually gave it a go and omg I must say you're a lifesaver. It worked like a charm. Thank you soooo much.
5 years later and you are still amazing. The towel, bag and plunger did the trick!!
If I could give 3 thumbs up I would! I tried snaking, plunging, and commercial Grade drain cleaner. NOTHING WORKED!!! But THIS, Applying pressure by plugging the hole? Worked like a charm. Saved me an arm and leg with the plumber.
Well 4 bottles of DrainO and now ya tell me!
Worked like a charm.
Sheeeesh that drain o must be wreaking havoc on your pipes
Just fixed a tub that has been slow draining for years! Thank you!
Just tried it after using draino and two weeks of useless plunging, tried your method and it worked like a charm. Thanks so much for the expert advice, ten 👍 up!!!
Thank you so much!!! Have been dealing with tub drain problems for years. The strongest drain opener did nothing to solve the problem. I could not get the auger past around the bend. I watched your video yesterday and last night, to help things along, poured Dawn dish soap and hot water to work overnight. This AM, it took a few tries with the plunger, but busted open the clog!!!! I am guilty of having used too many solid state products… bar soap, coconut oil, Shea butter, etc. Will now not apply those in the shower! The least amount of bar soap and will treat weekly with Dawn, hot water and the plunger!! Thank you again!!
Good advice for easy-medium clogging. It saved my "life" today.
Wow! Thank you for the video!! Took me less than 15 minutes to make my bathtub flow again (and even faster!). And thanks for the tips on chalking the gap. VERY helpful!
Chalking the gap?
TIL you can plunge a tub. This fixed my problem and I didn't have to call the building maintenance person. THANK YOU
Thank you so much my bathtub was so clogged up to the point where it completely stop draining. I did your method for about 30 minutes and now it drains instantly you are a lifesaver!!!!
Whew!! 😎
Thank you! One of the most helpful & easy to follow videos I have found on the subject!
Thanks so much this helped me clear my clogged drain without having to call my landlord and bother him lol thanks!
DUDE!!! GREAT INSTRUCTIONS!! I have a prof auger and even with that I couldn't fully unclog the drain. I finally thought I'll try it your way and OMG I took a shower without ANY water at my feet!!! Thank you so much!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
THANK YOU!! This video saved us who knows how much money and time. We unclogged our completely blocked tub in MINUTES thanks to this video!
Hi Sir. I had been working on my tub for a while with no success, got all the crud out of the bottom and plunged it still no success. I didn't know about plugging that top hole to make it airtight - did that, plunged it again - HUGH SUCCESS. The tub now makes a whirlpool. THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR KNOWLEDGE WITH US! Cheers
You're very welcome! I shared because I CANNOT stand (no pun) ankle deep water! Gross!! Just trying to help :D have a good one!
bro after 4 years wow its still there we did this and it worked :D thank you
I want to thank you so much. I had an entire tub filled with water. Did the washcloth thing, and the gunk that came out was unbelievable. THANK YOU! It’s working better than ever.
Wow I been trying to plung my tub the last hour with no results finally resorted to UA-cam and clicked on this godly video my goodness with 5 seconds of plunging my tub it finally drained.... You the fing man!!!!! Thank you so much for posting this!
YESSSSS! you are such a life saver! This worked EXTREMELY well! Thank you buddy! 😀
Holy shit, this actually worked! You sir are a wizard!!!
I'm so glad I watched your video! Our tub has been draining so slowly. I tried hot water. The snake tool couldn't go deep enough. The clog-clearing chemicals accomplished nothing. I called a few plumbers and was told it was a sewer issue, but I knew it was a clogged pipe, so I turned to UA-cam, watched the video and in 10 minutes, my tub was working perfectly! The plunger unclogged a hair collection the size of a small cat. Ew! Thank you for your help!!!
Man i got to tell you, that worked instantly. My tub drained completely. Hair balls and all. LOL. You just saved me some money. A plumber would have bent me over the tub and violated me and my wallet. LMAO..Thanks for the help sir. Its nice to have people on UA-cam who actually want to help others. And save them money. Thanks again.
6 years older and still helping out young adults like me out! Aha 🙏🙏
this technique works well.. thanks so much for sharing your expertise.. you are the best!!!
I brought a $5 snake from Walmart, to no avail. Purchases not one but TWO bottles of Drano, one regular and one hair buster, to no avail. Finally busted out the plunger which I already had for my toilet and it didn't work also...then came across this video and used the towel to block the upper drain and plunged again and BOOM! TYSM! Took two minutes!
The only way i saved a plummer visit is this video. BLESS YOU!!
Just unclogged my tub because I watched this video :)
This worked perfectly, thanks for the video.
I want to thank you for your video! We went two weeks without a working tub. Your video helped us in less then 5min. I added boiling water before we started tho. You are a life saver!!!
