Default plumbing problems

for several months the water in my bathtub goes down really slow

so id take a showor
water would get halfway up my shins
next person would have to wait 5 mins for the water to drain

the past couple of days it got worse
the water would take up to .5 hrs to drain

today my pops put draino max gel down there and now the water is not draining at all

we tried plunging it but it looks like the pic and doesnt go down, once up



help! :eek3:

They're way too clogged, you must have too much horizontal plumbing in your house or you do the :boink: to yourself in there too much. Get one of those snakes, you might have to hire a plumber, cause it may be clogged further down.

Edit: One time I actually makeshifted a pump that forced pressure into the pipes, I used this plastic cup piece that molded around the drain, and attach my bike pump to it and held the cup in while someone pumped it. It won't do much if your pipes aren't fully clogged, cause there won't be any pressure if nothing is stopping it.

pour some lye down there.

or pour some nitroglycerin down there, throw in a detonator, plug up the drain with some cement, take cover, detonate it, drill through the cement, and you should be fine
