Question:

Both, my bathtub and bathroom sink are clogged! Help!?

Both my bathtub and bathroom sink are clogged! They are not just a little clogged, the tub takes a long time to drain, and nothing goes down, and the bathroom sink just doesn't drain at all.I have tried Drain-OAny ideas of what to do next?

Answer:

The stoppage is at the junction of the sink and tub connection point. Drain-0 only works in the p-trap. Home Depot sells a liquid drain cleaner in a 1 qt black bottle that's packed into a plastic bag. It's a very strong acid. I believe it is hydrochloric acid. Follow directions and pour the recommended quantity down the sink drain. It will work it's way down the the stoppage. Let it sit for about 1 hr. I've used it twice with success. I'm saying the sink drain because the stoppage appears to be at the junction of the sink and tub drain with the major stoppage on the sink side.
