You should snake your drains more often than me.

>>	Anonymous Sun Mar 17 05:59:42 2019 No.1575404 >>1575340 This is incorrect, I'm in a male-only flat and everyone shaving over the bathroom basin has clogged up the pipe with hair. Already dissasembled the U-bend once and used a plunger twice, both helped a little but didn't resolve the issue.

>>	Anonymous Mon Mar 18 07:05:15 2019 No.1576313 >>1576312 Would a bike pump work?

>>	Anonymous Mon Mar 18 07:32:05 2019 No.1576326 >>1576313 Id imagine the pressure would be too small.

>>	Anonymous Mon Mar 18 07:35:42 2019 No.1576327 >>1576326 Bike tires can be pumped up to 60psi, and I imagine the pipes themselves aren't rated as high as a bike tire is pressure-wise.

>>1576327
It would take some effort to pump the pipe up to given pressure, and I doubt the pipe is clogged all the way, without releasing the pressure slowly. Come to think of it, perhaps the water in the S-bend could work as a seal (kinda like the toilet bell). It might push through a huge chunk of gunk and hair, but the sidewalls of the pipe will remain dirty with residue, so I would follow up with some chemical reaction.

>>	Anonymous Mon Mar 18 07:45:10 2019 No.1576331 >>1576329 I was thinking that running water down first would make a seal inside the grime itself, since the water drains really fucking slowly.

>>	Anonymous Mon Mar 18 07:47:09 2019 No.1576334 >>1576331 If you have a bike pump at hand, hey, give it a try, but how would you make a seal on the drain itself? Make a hole through a rubber drain plug perhaps and push the pump needle through it?

>>1576331
theres a vent in your bathtub to prevent it from overfilling which unless plugged a plunger wont do shite. try plugging the thing and then go to town on that plunger like it owes you lunch

if that dont work, let it drain all the way

fill up with baking soda then dump the vinegar to it

if that dont work get a piece of bendy wire nice and long and try working it in there

if that dont work try the plunger again

then try the plunger and vinegar and baking soda all at once

dont put 60lbs into your drain, you wont be happy when it busts apart

>>	Anonymous Mon Mar 18 08:27:33 2019 No.1576349 >>1576334 The seal is the problem I'm trying to think around.

>>	Anonymous Mon Mar 18 08:29:06 2019 No.1576350 >>1575404 Legitimately wondering if a strong solution of nair would solve the issue. It dissolves hair, right, so why wouldn't it work?

>>	Anonymous Mon Mar 18 09:00:49 2019 No.1576363 >>1576280 Thanks Cosmo.

>>	Anonymous Mon Mar 18 15:37:01 2019 No.1576504 >>1576253 Then you have to clean it.

>>	Anonymous Mon Mar 18 16:48:34 2019 No.1576542 >>1576350 Probably a waste of money compared to drano or caustic soda. It might not be friendly on pipes either.

>>	Anonymous Mon Mar 18 17:41:43 2019 No.1576565 >>1576542 Or gaskets.

>>	Anonymous Mon Mar 18 18:18:58 2019 No.1576578 >>1575340 I have a beard and it's easier to snake the drain than to clean up everytime I trim my beard. Something about the hair makes it hard to clean off the sink. It just smears around.
