What the homeowner called about
The bathtub was not draining properly because of a hair clog and an old pop-up assembly stuck inside the drain.
What our plumber found
Our plumber found an old brass waste and overflow system with a pop-up assembly that was stuck and could not be removed easily.
How we fixed it
Our crew cut the old overflow pipe to access the line, cleared the hair clog using a cable, and reconnected the overflow pipe securely.
What this means for your home
Accessing the line through the overflow pipe allows our plumber to clear hair clogs even when the bathtub drain stopper is stuck.
