    Good video Visiting parents for the holidays and the upstairs bathroom sink stopped draining. Took apart the pipes under the sink and cleaned them out. Rain a snake down the pipe that comes out of the wall and collected a lot of gunk. Put everything back together and poured four cups of vinegar down the drain followed by a full kettle of hot water. Did this twice. Drains super fast now! Merry Christmas Jonny.

    You are the man ! I have tried FOR YEARS to get a VERY slow draining guest bedroom bathtub drain to be cleared -using initially a small wire snake ,solid wire , vinegar and baking soda with hot water .Recently, drain virtually stopped after last used this spring . Was worried cast iron pipe had shifted after possibly being cracked and would need big plumber repair to fix it /clear it .But instead I tried your methods of plunger with rag first ( no go) , then tried repeated shop vacuuming( using a rag plug) and via sucking and blowing through the bathtub drain -using the wet CLOTH (not paper paper towel!) plug method. After about four attempts of vacuuming and blowing through the drain ,no joy! I thought “just one more time vacuuming “ and THAT was it ! It brought up a big black oily tarry glob of hair right up to the drain grate itself . Vacuumed a second time and it brought up a little mucky but not a hairy glob . Then ran hot water to flush the residual slime and am good to go! Thanks again!

My tub has been draining slow, but just suddenly stopped working at all . Thanks to U-Tube, I've managed to fix quite a few things on my own . Now, thanks to you, I've opened the bathtub drain!!! All the tools were here, so all I needed was instructions & you provided them perfectly. Thank you so much! Sharing your knowledge & experience is greatly appreciated......you ROCK, my dear!!

    Excellent video! I have a persistent plug. Have snaked to about 15-20 feet, all kinds of drain products (except lye) and for hours. Have used plunger. Might be toilet paper down deep???? Do you think double ply toilet paper might be a problem? I have not yet used the vacuum cleaner method, that might be next.

    • @JonnyDIY
      @JonnyDIY  10 місяців тому +2

      No shouldn't be toilet paper. It's almost always hair or grease/soap scum build up. Try figuring out how the drain pipe is run and can maybe snake it from another point in the house or clean out? Yes I'd try the shop vacuum method 👍

    I've had a problem with my tub drain forever. I've used chemicals for temporary help. My sink and tub drain out the same main, the sink has no problem. I am sure I am hitting something metal at some point. I've used a snake and auger and a drain brush that reaches about 15". Nothing. I'm going for the big guns tomorrow. Muriatic acid should do it. I have used it before in rentals with owner permission. This is an older home and no doubt the plumbing is original in some places. I've just had it with this tub drain. You guys make it look so easy :/

    Working on original 1929 bathtub, very slow to drain problem further down the line. In between lower hot and cold control handles is a third one which controls water to stop for a bath or for a shower. I don't know if its an overflow because there is no opening for water to drain out from it. Does that third control handle control assembly need to be removed to use plunge or bladder method?

    I have a built in ( + ) type of device to keep larger items from going down the drain. Problem is, now I cant feed a bladder in. Bought a big socket type thing, that says its to remove this, but no matter how hard I twist, it wont come off, even tried penetrating oil, and a blow torch to try and loosen it..nothing !!! Any suggestions to getting this out, other than a saws all and cutting it out ?

    • @JonnyDIY
      @JonnyDIY  7 місяців тому

      If you get the bladder with the adapter like one I left linl in description to you dont need to remove cross piece. If need to get it out though, not sure if you got the socket that has the cross piece adapter, I'd try that one. It should come out unless its rusted on to metal. I got an old one off that had to be 50+ years before. Hmm. If get right socket could try it on an impact gun too, impact usually knocks things loose. Last resort would be cutting out
