Could use a little help with bathrooms
Posted: Tue Sep 18, 2012 10:35 am
I live in a 2003 Schultz which is connected to a sewer system in mobile home park. I have two bathrooms the first one in the hallway has a fiberglass tub/shower unit. Where in the drain hole is is a metal plug which moves up and down to keep water in the tub or not. I believe it is this contraption that makes the water drain from the tub slower than molasses in January. Can this be removed by a plumber ?? In all honesty I would just a soon use a rubber stopper.
The second bathroom is off of my bedroom which has a free standing shower and a garden tub. The water in the shower drains very slow too although no metal plug just an opening with a metal screen screwed down over it. If I spend too much time in the shower the water has overflowed over the base lip of the shower onto the floor.
I'm unsure if these problems are with my plumbing or not. I don't seem to hear any complaints from my neighbors. Any suggestions will be gratefully accepted.
ps I have tried an trick from an old time plumber I knew which was to use vinegar to clear out any soap scum etc but that has not helped.
