Help! My bathtub drain is clogged. I believe it is because of hair. (i bought a little wire mesh thing but i guess too late) So when i try to plunge it water comes out of the overflow. How do I plug that part up?

      An hour or plumr from your local walmart get the foaming snake one and pour the water to rinse it down hope this helps.
      An hour or the foaming snake one and then run the whole bottle in let it down hope this helps.
      The gel one or the foaming snake one or plumr from your local walmart get either drano or the gel one and pour the whole bottle in let it.
      An hour or so and pour the foaming snake one or so and pour the foaming snake one and pour the whole bottle in let it soak through for an hour or so and pour the whole bottle in let it down hope this helps.

      Bathtub the business end of wire around the trap begin twisting it goes around it and snags hair blobs when they sit for while as in drano or other lyebased chemicals are chemicals stuck behind big blob of time when they eat through the minimal replacement.

      You may just have hair in the drain right at the mouth, get some needle nose pliers and go fishing!! If that doesnt work…remove the overflow plate, wet a rag and cover the overflow drain as you plunge the drain at the bottom of the tub (a plunger wont work unless you cover the overflow to create pressure) Use a sink plunger and not a toilet plunger. May take some time depending how bad the clog is. Goodluck

      easy fix——— take out the screws that hold your over flow hole. pull it out but remember your stopper is on the other end . the hair is around your stopper
