    How to snake a bathtub drain if there is NO overflow.
    Hey there,

    My bathroom tub is clogged and for some reason we do not have an overflow drain and the actual drain that sits at the bottom of the tub is part of the tub itself and can not be removed.
    On top of everything else this morning my neighbors shower water backed up into our tub!! Gross!
    Please help me figure something out, do I need to snake the line from my neighbors tub?

    Thanks.

    If your neighbors shower backs into your tub then the clog is downstream of your tub trap. Is this an apartment or what, normally a neighbor is not close enough, plumbingwise, to cause this.
