Help - Tub is backing up!
Hi.
New to forum, maybe someone can help me.
I have noticed that my tub drainage has been slowing down again. Just had cleaned it (using a plastic piece with hooks that got through mail, worked fine) a few weeks ago, but my wife said MY hair was clogging it up again.
Had not gotten to it yet... my wife took a bath last night, and filled up to almost top of tub (past the overflow drain holes).
But when she went to drain tub, water did not drain!! So I figured would leave it overnight and it would drain out, then I would clean that darn drain again.
But... when got up this morning, there was more water in tub than last night, and was overflowing onto floor!!
I drained the water from the tub and cleaned out the drain somewhat... but water (mostly clear now) keeps seeping out, I would say about 1 gal per hour or more!!
What could be the problem??
Note that this was a refitted bath over old tub, and we have community sewer, and checked with neighbor, no problem with their drainage. Also toilets seem to be flushing OK.
Thx for any help.
Bob
