Common Bathtub Plumbing Problems

Bathtub Faucet Clog
A bathtub faucet contains a screen that blocks any loose debris from entering water coming out of the spout. Overtime this screen will collect debris and inhibit water from coming through at full flow. If you can, take out the screen and wash it with warm water. If you don't have DIY plumbing experience, simply call a plumber to unclog your bathroom faucet.

Clogged Drain
When the bathtub drain spews out black gunk and won't drain water, most likely a clog settled inside the drainpipe. You can try plunging the clogged drain but certain drain configurations make it almost impossible to use a plunger without taking apart the bathtub drain. Although plunging or snaking can bring temporal relieve - calling plumbers for effective bathtub plumbing repair will guarantee long term success.

Faulty Overflow Gasket
A water stain on the ceiling below the location of the upstairs bathroom may point to a faulty overflow gasket in the bathtub. Attached to a drain, the overflow gasket creates a watertight seal that prevents leaks. With proper maintenance an overflow gasket should last about 10 years, but overtime these overflow gaskets loosen, crack or rot and fail to drain water properly.
