Might have to get this bc I think that's exactly what's down there.

I do this a couple of times (so like 2 - 3 kettles worth of boiling water). Then I plunge it. I have a small household plunger, but a toilet plunger works too. You have may have to do it for a while (we're talking plunging for five or ten minutes, maybe with another bout or two of hot water), but it often works. Free... so worth a shot? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/plugged-drain#post-584110 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 18:30:30 +0000 regberadaisy 584110@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsH: yup, my husband has snaked it a few times and it still drains verrry slowly. The previous owners must've let everything go down the drain! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/plugged-drain#post-584066 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 18:20:18 +0000 MrsH 584066@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>have you tried one of those snake looking metal brush things for drains? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/plugged-drain#post-584056 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 18:17:14 +0000 regberadaisy 584056@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The drain to the tub in our main bath is extremely plugged. Like we will need to disassemble the plumbing bad. Until we get to it is there a product that you use to unclog drains that works VERY well?</p> <p>P.S. this is beyond drano and natural products! </p>
