clogged tub?

Question

when i run water in my kitchen sink and bathroom sink i have water come up in the bath tub been trying to unclog the tub but so far everything has failed

Answer 1

Did you try using a plunger on all the drains? I tried all kinds of stuff to unclog my drains and that was the only thing that worked for me! If not-call the plumber!

Answer 2

Greetings...
I've looked at the other replies and have to agree with the 2 inch pipe clog suggested. Been a landlord for some time and this is a recurring problem.. and Drano does work IF you give it time..
The alternative is a bit messy... and that is to run a line router down the offending branch.. to the clog.
Now some times this can be done from the roof through what is called the vent stack or waste vent. If one is lucky the clogs are in line with these....
If not. then it's time to go under the bath sink, remove the trap, then run the line router down the pipe...(very messy when it comes back out- and all over the bath floor)
This is usually a plumber or sewer service (cheaper) job - unless one has the tools or wants to rent them.

Try that Drano first tho and I recommend the dry type. (lye)

Happy plumbing to the depths.

Answer 3

flush the toilet, pour a gallon of water in the stool and immediately flush. If the bathtub doesn't back up, it's not outside the house ( no tree roots). It's probably clogged in the 2" pipe before it drops into the 3" leaving the house. Try draino and give it time to work

Answer 4

Time to call in the plumber. you may have tree roots that have broken into your underground pipes or just a nasty clog in a main pipe.

Answer 5

Call a plumber.....It sounds like it's drain outside your house. Maybe a tree roots.
