Might need a place rotor rooter clean it out. Might have plugged
First, let the water run enough to get the pipes wet, pour in a small box of baking soda and then add vinegar, enough to dissolve the soda and then let sit preferably overnight and then rinse in the morning with hot water. This should work if your problem is just soap scum and hair. If this fails then you will probably need an expert with a rooter to clear the clogs. If you have trees close to the house it could be tree roots. Try the cheapest method first. I use this method all of the time on my bathroom sink and it works great. I do not have a dishwasher so every time I do dishes I add about a teaspoon of soda to the dishwater. This helps to cut the grease and also helps to keep the lines clean.
It could have tree roots growing in it. I don't know if using a plumber's snake would clear it or not. You may wish to check with someone at Lowe's or Home Depot to get a better answer.
When I put baking soda, followed by vinegar, into my drain it erupted greasy slime hair and unclogged the slow running drain. It was pretty cool to watch..
Th0anks, I'll try the baking soda/vinegar solution first.
First pour boiling water, then baking soda and vinegar - then boiling water again. May have to do it several times.
Thank you...
Could be tree roots that is a big problem.
