John Bruh Posted November 1, 2010 Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 In my shower in my master, my son (whos 1 1/2) poped off the drain cover and tossed a little ball down the drain. Its caught someone I imagine in a turn and its not allowing water to fully pass. Water is able to pass it just not all at once. Does anyone know a good cheap plummer that can fix this for me? Or is this something that I should be able to fix myself easliy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTQ B4U Posted November 1, 2010 Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 My son did that same thing with a small rubber super-ball and our sink. Water ended up flushing it into the pipe in the wall. Use a shop vac and a pulled that sucker right back out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unfunnyryan Posted November 2, 2010 Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 shop vac sounds like it could work but also may suck up a whole bunch of nasty shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffro Posted November 2, 2010 Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 get under your house, providing its a first floor bathroom, and check the trap. else, take the cover off the drain, and use some creativity to get it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTQ B4U Posted November 2, 2010 Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 Its in my master and its in the second story idk how to get to the trap Closet on the other side? Depending on the builder, they may or may not have built in a access point. Mine did not. I simply cut the rectangle and used baseboard molding to finish it and make it look like it belongs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
