What is a good product to use to unclog toilets and tubs.?

Question

I have a toilet that when i flush it,the tub backs up and vice versa.I dont think a roto rooter man is necessary yet.

Answer 1

best product for toilets is an auger. best for tub is to remove stopper and clean off, everyone is able to be taken apart and cleaned. however ,what your discribing is a main drain problem.

Answer 2

There is a new product on the market that uses CO2 cartridges to unclog drains, it costs around forty dollars and is available at Home Depot. It has worked for me flawlessly so far. However, your question asks for a good product to unclog toilets and tubs...For toilets I suggest a closet auger or a good plunger. For your other drains, a good plunger. Many people don't realize how efficient a plunger is when correctly used. For stubborn clogs, it is the pull stroke that is important...Pull as forcefully as you can then plunge. If this doesn't unclog your drain, call your drain cleaner or plumber. What you describe is more than likely a clog or restriction in your main drain. For the price of a new fangled CO2 powered clog remover that may or may not clear the line- you can have a drain cleaner run a snake down your main and solve all your drain problems.. Good luck.

Answer 3

Buy two plungers ( one for tub / one for toilet only ), to use. I would put about 1/3 full hot water in tub and let it drain. Occasionally work plunger like your life depends on it. This should knock the restriction loose. Save the other plunger for if the toilet plugs up.

Answer 4

If you've tried a plunger and a non-caustic clog remover, I suggest buying an auger (snake). They're about $10 at the hardware store. Very easy to use.

Answer 5

I use "plumbers helper" from Home depot in the Grey container it has a higher content of sulfuric acid and will work through hair and grease quicker than normal use stuff.
