if you ask me,

it will cost an awful lot to call someone out, ask a friend if they

have got any drain rods 1st,

and do that, and after wash them out with a hose ,

that will clear them ,

also, if you, are a c/tenant have a word with the council and see

if they can help you out, go to enviromental services,

the tel no . is in the phone book ,

good luck ,

had same problem not long ago,
had too have new sewers put in.

it cost £ 6,1099. that was privately,

have you, got one or two man holes , if 2 then you, are soley

responsible for the waste , that goes into the saddle of the

main sewer,

if only one then the council are the responsibl ones ,

don’t worry , it will get sorted out.

give them a ring now,

But its a rubber cup with a handle. Its like a suction cup. Just place it over it and push the handle hard. It might help. Alternatively add some baking soda and crystalline citric acid in the drain, Some means 2 heap table spoons each. Add a glass of warm water in the drain and somehow seal the mouth of the drain with the above mentioned rubber cup. The mixture will make lots of CO2 gas which will flush the drain. Hope this hels!!!

Its an s shaped pipe usually a foot away from the drain. You will have to go under the house to see it. If your house is on a concrete slab there should be access on the opposite wall of the tub behind the faucet. You can remove the trap and clean it out, if its not clogged there run a plumbers snake down the pipe toward the main sewer line. Snake it Its a plumber's snake that is used to un-clog small blockages. It can be purchased at Wal-Mart or any hardware store. You will have to locate the p-trap.
