I have to ask, are your drains all running slow? The first step would be to just run some regular household drain cleaner through the drains over a week or so and see if the drains clear and run normally. Short of calling a drain service to clean your pipes (Roto Rooter for one), I think this would be your best bet. You can rent a power snake for a tool rental place but the problem with that is , if they are plastic pipes(PVC) , you could crack them. I have seen that happen. Try the drain cleaner first. Don't go crazy... use the recommended amounts and procedures.
