You may have been unnecessarily struggling with a bathtub drain blockage. Many times, these stubborn disruptions are easier than you think, to get relief for. There exist 5 common types of drain assembly. The photo above from Handyman.com illustrates a type of drain assembly, where the stop is threaded into the mouth of the drain. Removing the stop will reveal a cross hair that contains a tapped/ threaded center. This is where you will usually find the culprit behind the tub not draining. The crosshairs collect hair and other debris. For future access to this section of the drain assembly, become familiar with which type you have. Practice removing the stop regularly. This will allow for the plug to remain easy to remove, as well as allow you to remove accumulation before the drain becomes sluggish and difficult to clear.
