My son in law tried to unplug our tub,how can you remove a broken off snake head from a bath tub drain? Help!?

Evidently whatever was plugging the tub is doing a real job now, it's totally plugged!My son in law tried to unplug our tub,how can you remove a broken off snake head from a bath tub drain? Help!?
if you used a flimsy little wire one and it broke. go rent a real elec.one. they have tough metal ends and will push it through. or wrap it up so you can bring it out. get one with a cutter head if you think you have some thing plastic in there.My son in law tried to unplug our tub,how can you remove a broken off snake head from a bath tub drain?

Sorry, but you may have to get into the plumbing lines to get it out. There is no real easy way to do this. If you have an access panel you need to start there and if you do not you need to evaluate just where the best spot is to start cutting into the walls or ceilings. When you are able to see the plumbing look for the inline p trap and try to cut the pipe near this. It is where the clog originates also. Wish I could be more help.
your gonna have to cut the trap out . it is caught in the trap. if you can turn (counter clockwise) and pull gently it may come out without cutting the trap. good luck.


hubby is a master plumber...he recomends.
