Plugged Tub Drain
Well' the tub drain has been plugged for three days now, and the
family is getting kind of grubby. I fought with it all weekend. Here's what I know/did: 80 year home, tub clogged. First tried drain cleaner - no work. Then tried plunging - no work - but I did succeed in causing a bunch of leaks around the tub drain which caused me to replace the tub drain and overflow, but that's another story. Finally discovered a clean-out in a linen closet adjacent to the bathroom. Ascertained that the "U" from the tub to the clean-out is not clogged. Tried to rout-out from the clean-out to wherever, maybe 15 feet, and it's still plugged solid. My basement ceiling is plastered so I can't see any piping except for what I tore up yesterday. Any ideas before I call a plumber? How about drain cleaner from the clean-out to wherever? Thanks in advance. |
