I've been having some issues with my bathtub drain after it got clogged a couple of weeks ago. I used Drano to clear it, but now I've noticed the drain is turning black and it's staining the area around it. The drain seems to be working fine, and there's no water sitting around it. It's firmly attached with no wobbles or leaks either. Since we don't really use this bathtub often (it's in our guest bathroom), I'm wondering if there's something else going on that I might be missing before I replace the drain I've just bought. Thanks for any advice!

It sounds like the Drano might have caused a chemical reaction with the fittings, which can lead to discoloration. Honestly, Drano isn't the best for your plumbing; it can cause more harm than good. For future clogs, try using a plunger or a plumber's snake instead. They’re much safer for your pipes and should help prevent issues like this!
Oh wow, I didn’t know that! What would be a better way to unclog the drain?
