I have a tub with a drain that has no 'closing' mechanism. I guess what I'd used to call it was a 'trap', the sort of rod assembly that pushes the plunger up an down and catches all the hair gunk.
So, yesterday, I spent 15 minutes wth a coat hanger and got a ton of hair out of it, because it was draining a bit slow.
After that, it didnt drain. At all. I've poured a bottle and a half of liquid plumber, and draino crystals (yeah, I know not good for the pipes)....
It barely sees to drain at all! So my quesiton is, could there have been a valve or toggle mechanism I hit while clearing it out to effectively shut it? Even if there's no knob on the tub or plunger installed?
thanks
