SSSSLLLOOOWWWWW Bathroom Drain..
Looking for some suggestions for a slow bathroom drain. It's been doing it for awhile. I've checked the P-Trap and its clear. This is a sink that the vent is under the sink. I've also used the Liquid Plumber Foaming Dain cleaner, we used to use that at our old home.... I have another drain with the same vent pipe configuration and that works just fine.
Thanks |

I have a few suggestions:
1. Remove the nut that holds in the drain plug mechanism under the sink and pull out the drain plug rod. 2. Use a plunger. They make a special small plunger for sinks. They also make a super duper plunger that uses some type of compressed air or gas. 3. Remove the vent mechanism. 4. Remove the P-trap and use a drain snake. |
A drain snake works better than any drain cleaner. If someone you know has one or hire a plumber.

I think it is hair mixed with soap. Try this hair snare:

1/2 fill the sink with water cover the overflow outlet at the top of the sink with a wash cloth and use the plunger repeatedly and you will see stuff come out that was caking up for years. Keep the water running try to take out the large chucks that get dislodged.Reat this process until you have a clear drain. Do it once month and you'll never have a slow drain again.

when using liquid plumber, to flush, I boil water and then pour it down the drain. Plain hot water doesn't do it

Can you replace the vent itself ? That may be the issue.
I believe that ACE carries them …. |
