This is a video to show you how to clean out your bathtub drain pipe so that it will drain freely. A snake is used in the pipe to show you how to clean out any stoppage.
@the11 The snake is basically a long skinny spring wound tightly together that is very flexible. The possibility of breaking a drain line is low. The most difficulty that I've had is just getting the snake to keep feeding down the line making its 90 degree turns. Be patient, keep pushing and turning at the same time and the snake will feed itself with ease. When the snake hits the clog it will stop turning inside the pipe, pull it out, see what's on it, and snake it again until it's clear.
