Hello All, I have a slow draining tub that I would like to tackle this week. The drain was extremely slow before I used a drain cleaner, now it’s just very slow and I know it must be clogged somewhere. I have read about cleaning the “trap” and wanted to clarify this. I am posting a jpg (if I can figure it out) that has the back of the bathtub. It seems that the tub flows through a “trap”. Is that what I should clean out? Can I just unscrew the bolt on top and fish around inside and take out any disgusting hairs and gunck? Will I have trouble closing it back up, I don’t want any leaking. Any advise would be great. Thanks to all! [URL=http://imageshack.us][IMG]http://img88.imageshack.us/img88/3600/slowdrain1fa6.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

Can't believe I am having such a tough time getting an answer to this. Neighbor has a double wide mobile home made by Jacobson maybe 1980. Fiberglass floor in shower is probably a Mustee or Fiat or Swan, pretty standard. When you step into it in one spot (most likely where everyone stands) there is is cracking noise that sounds like styrofoam. Only information I have ever gotten is that some floors depending on application where in fact set into styrofoam and I am not sure why. The concern is that the floor is flexing and I suspect fiberglass floors do flex but he is concerned that it will develop a crack and that is why this styrofoam was used. Has anyone heard of this and secondly, is there a method (like drilling a hold in the apron) and spraying something like foam or maybe something you are aware of to take up this space I am sure caused by settling? Maybe ist is nothing to be concerned about but I figured you guys are my last hope for some info.
