Water pools in my bathtub and takes a while to drain, the drain is not clogged, what do?

Question

The drain under my bathtub takes an immediate 90 turn before taking another right hand turn to a trap(this tub drains to a pipe in the bottom of the trap). My 2nd floor tub also drains to this trap but enters from the top. Finally there is a pipe in the middle that releases the water from the trap.

Answer 1

The little ball thing may have fallen and it is clogging the pipe.

Answer 2

I think you have a partial hair clog. Buy some Drano or other drain cleaner or better yet buy a snake so you will never have to deal with deadly acids that could kill pets and young kids if they get into them.

Answer 3

All tubs take a while to drain.

Answer 4

I have the same problem, I dried DranoMax and that worked for a couple of days, but the water has been backing up again. I would try that and see if it works for you.

Answer 5

Have you checked your overflow ducts, because if they are blocked then they restrict airflow and prevents water flowing freely through the waste pipes.

Answer 6

Tornado!

Sorry.

Answer 7

you more likely do have a blockage somewhere try using acid down the drain to clear it..

Answer 8

pour enzymes into the drain,follow directions and poof your drain will bemuch cleaner!

Answer 9
