1. It may be that you accidentally break the downpipe when cleaning the blockage, check carefully and replace the downpipe.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2. The ground waterproof layer is aging, causing leakage. Find out and partially redo the waterproofing.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3.It is possible that the part where the water outlet meets the bathtub has opened up and caused leakage.<\/p>\n

Check carefully and use waterproof universal glue to re-glue for a week,<\/p>\n

and then use it again after it has dried and cracked.<\/p>\n

At the junction of the downspout and the bathtub, there is a gap, resulting in leakage,<\/p>\n

B, How to do when the bathtub<\/a> drain is blocked<\/h5>\n

 <\/p>\n

The bathtub drain is blocked, you can first close the water valve,<\/p>\n

and then put the right amount of tap water in the bathtub;<\/p>\n

place the rubber attractor (for unblocking the toilet) on the water valve;<\/p>\n

while opening the water valve, smother the overflow hole of the basin or bathtub;<\/p>\n

and then quickly attract up and down, suck out the dirt or hair and clean it up in time.<\/p>\n

In the case of a serious blockage, this can be repeated several times until it is unblocked.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Blockages that occur near the bath drain can be tackled from several places – the overflow,<\/p>\n

the bath drain opening or the drum bend.<\/p>\n

Let’s start with the bath drain.<\/p>\n

If you can’t clear the blockage here, try the overflow again and then try the bulbous bend.<\/p>\n

If the bathtub drain is blocked and cannot be unblocked with a rubber suction device,<\/p>\n

first use the drain elbow screw to unblock the bathtub drain opening.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If the blockage does not occur at the bend,<\/p>\n

insert the drain bend screwdriver into the extension of the drain pipe that extends into the wall and turn the screwdriver into the drain pipe.<\/p>\n

If this does not work, move the overflow tray out of the way and insert the screwdriver directly into the overflow pipe and through to the drain.<\/p>\n

For blocked floor drains, such as those in the corners and shower drains,<\/p>\n

a garden hose can be very effective,<\/p>\n

especially if the blockage is not right next to the opening.<\/p>\n

Attach one end of the hose to the tap, shove the other end as deep as possible into the drain,<\/p>\n

and then stuff the cloth around the hose at the drain opening.<\/p>\n

Next, turn the tap on as far as it will go and hold it for a while.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
