    Bath tub draining problem
    Hi!
    I have a bath tub water draining problem and now it even worst, for it need 30 minutes to get all water away, Since than I try to use lots of liquid plumr on it. But it helps not long.
    I think it's pipe line must have lots dirt. So I purchase a snack and try to only the bolt under bath. But it was hard to turn (may be it get rust inside.
    Right now I'll need input for how can I loose it out?
    Ps. I had try to put snack direct from the tub but fail because of the angle.

    To help diagnose this... is there any problem with a sink or toilet in the same bathroom draining or flushing? Or any others in the same apartment or house? Is this bathtub on a ground level floor or basement?

    What country are you located in?
