Unclogging drains
 

Does anyone have any experience with unclogging slow draining or clogged drains. I have cleaned out the trap below our bathroom sink but it is all clear and it still drains very slowly. I was considering using some of the products out there like liquid plumber but wondered if anyone knows whether or not those are too harsh for this plumbing or not. I have a fairly short "snake" that I may try but I think the clog is further down line. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Home remedy and good for routine maintenance:

1 part baking soda
1 part vinegar

Fill drain as best you can with baking soda
Add vinegar

Repeat as needed

Inexpensive and effective.

Good luck.

Shop Vac
 

Take the paper filter out of the shop vac. Remove trap. Pour about a 1/4 cup of baking soda in drain, followed by a 2 liter bottle of "warm" pepsi. ( I like pepsi over coke, think it has more fizz). Let stand about 10 minutes. Seal vac hose with duct tape around pipe. Turn vac on & off for a minute at a time. Do this about 3 times. Re-install trap, run hot water. Go around and run a little water in all traps to seal out sewer gas. Use a powerful shop vac.:swear:
