    Tub won't drain and pipes are replaced
    My husband has removed the trap for the tub and replaced the pipes. The tub will still not drain. We have tried everything snaking , draino everything but a plumber. You can't get a plumber to even look at your problems for 6 months. We live in a hurricane Katrina zone in Louisiana. Any and all help is welcome and appreciated.

    Thanks for looking ,Yvette

    You must not have tried everything since the tub's still stopped up. Did you snake from the tub waste and overflow? If so you didn't run out enough cable. Go back and snake it again. Regardes, Tom
