Plumbing question

That happened to me. I made a snake by purchasing some small wire rope (1/16") from a hardware store. I freyed one end and chucked up the good end in my drill motor. I ran the motor at a slow speed while inserting it into the pipe. It didn't take long until I pulled out a huge amount of hair.

I think it's time to call the Rooter man that would a good starting place. I have the same problem in my house The laundry Lavi drains extremely slow, but what the hell I'm a plumber I'll try and get around to it this year.

Its easier to call someone for sure. I clean my own drains and so can you. A drain cleaning tool called a snake can be purchased or rented. There have been many posts on that topic. Here is a link to the different discussions I have been contributed to, only five. Link:

I couldn't agree with Lawrence more. Lav drains are almost always hair clogs, and most chemicals are pretty useless. The added downside is that the person trying to snake or plunge the drain could end up "wearing" those chemicals. Best of luck.

Shop vac. And never use chemical drain cleaners again.

An auger, shop vacs never worked in my case mainly, I suspect, because the rust in the pipes was grabbing on to the hair and vacuum alone won't knock it loose.

Thanks to all for the replies. A friend says he has had good results with a shop vac so I shall try that first- if no luck there I will try snaking the drain.
