Check Bathtub Drain

Every time you shower, check your bathtub drain for any obstacles. In addition to this, you must also schedule regular bathtub drain checkup to check for hair and biofilm buildup every few months and make sure that your drains are functioning well. The bathtub drains must be checked for biofilm deposits as a mixture of body oils, soap scum, food particles, and bacteria in it hardens and layers up leading to clogged drains. While checking the bathtub drains, you must also inspect the tub stopper to determine whether it needs a replacement. Once in each month, schedule a regular plumbing service to make sure there are no lingering particles down the drains that can cause clogs.
