Bathtub drainage issues - Part 1

Nothing left to do but cut the drain out and replace it. Quintessential example of when you should replace an entire section of drain pipe.

I was reliving bad memories as well. My 35+ yrs of residential plumbing here in St. Louis. I was thinking “drop head” auger cable end as I was watching. To get thru that quick turn return bend in the P trap. Jobs like this is why I began to sub-contract ALL my drain cleaning jobs. Here in St. Louis al, ALL old (er) tubs had drum traps. Nightmare jobs.

For someone who parked in a sketchy area, you sure do seem calm about someone not breaking into your van lol. I'm paranoid asl, I gotta be checking my truck every 15 mins😂

I got an alarm on it with a remote that beeps if the slightest thing touches it

Pherhaps the kinetic water ram would work. Maybe

Not in this circumstance, watch the video on Thursday, part 2. You will see what was clogging the tub lol

We use 5/16 Ridgid inner core drop head cables on our small machines, 1/4 tangles easier.
