Default Help with clogged tub drain

On May 26, 6:40 pm, JH wrote:
Today the tub refuses to drain, even a little
bit. I tried the following and none worked;

1) plunger (while trying to block the overflow
hole)
2) taking the thingy out the switches from shower
to tub mode
3) snaking the drain by hand, both from the drain
and the overflow hole
4) vinegar and baking powder
5) boiling water

None are working! Any other ideas?

Thanks in advance!


I've had this problem and called plumber. TOH showed diagram (not
sure it is in link) but check it out. Snaking should work but it is
not as obvious as I recall drain goes in differen direction as I
expected.
