To snake a bathtub drain effectively, remove the overflow faceplate on the front tub wall, as feeding a cable through the tiny vertical drain basket is blocked by the stopper. Insert your flexible hand-cranked drum auger down through the open overflow pipe where it drops straight into the sanitary tee and P-trap. Crank the handle clockwise while pushing gently to hook and break up the hair clog. Callout type="warning" title="Hygiene Warning": Wear rubber gloves while handling extracted drain sludge. Verification: Pour a bucket of water down the tub to confirm rapid drainage.
