Default bath tub drain

I just moved into a new place. The water backs up after a bit when
showering. I hate standing in dirty water. I gave it 4 doses of lye over 3
days. It's a tiny bit better but it still backs up. Is this something a
plumber can fix easily?
Thanks for any advise,
Bonnie


Does the basin also back up? How about the kitchen sink?
What about the toilet?
If they all back up and don't empty freely it's time to call the plumber and
get him to put his eeel down the drains.
Do you have trees on the property? Maybe their roots have gotten into the
drains!
