Re: [DIY] Bath Tub Clogged

 

It is probably an accumulation of hair and soap in the trap.  Hair is a protein and Plumbers Helper has worked in our house after leaving set for several hours and using hot water to flush the trap.  As for harming the plumbing, that may depend on type and age of the material in question.  Some older traps were pretty thin to begin with.  You might also try a wet vac and keep putting water down the drain and sucking back out.

Hi Experts.

Does anyone have some advice? I hope this is common.

I have a bath tub that is becoming clogged up. I tried to run a snake down it, but as you can see, the snake does not fit because of this cross section. Take a look.

What would you recommend? Is there some safe chemical that wont ruin my pipe system? This bathtub is on the top level of the house. I can not access it from below.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Frank
