Default Slow Draining Bathtub

I have just noticed that one of our bathtubs drains rather slowly. I don't
believe that it was always that slow. Any ideas or suggestions as to how to
correct the problem?



Get a DIY book that covers tub drains so you
know how they work.

I don't like chemicals due to corrosion.

You can snake from the trip lever/overflow
opening. Or use a Shop Vac to suck/blow
at the drain opening. Plug the overflow
with wet rags.

*lots* of things can and do go badly
working on old drains. Experience counts
in this situation.
