unclogging drains

So our tub is slightly backed up. We always have about 1 inch or more of water while we r showering. I tried the vingar and baking soda and some cheapie drain x stuff that did not work. I can't even take off the grate cuz the jackass handyman resealed that part of the tib and sealed on the grate. What is ur tried and true help for clogged drains? Thanks!

  • I second Drano Max Gel, the cheap ones never do anything for my drains.  The last resort might be to find a way to unseal the drain grate and snake the drain if nothing else works.  I hate having to call in a plumber because they are so expensive
  • Another vote for Drano Max (Gel) here too.
  • Yup...Drano Max Gel...Good luck!

    Do you leave it sit for a while?

    The instructions say to let it sit for 30 minutes I believe... then you flush it out with hot water.

    Yes, I always use some when I clean my bathroom (every two weeks). I shed something fierce and DH recently grew out his hair too. So I pour some down the drain, then clean the sink, toilet, and floor, and by the time I am ready to clean the tub/shower, it's usually all unclogged. I run the hot water for a few minutes.
